WNYC News | Jul 12, 2010

New York, NY —

The Bronx Democratic Party has announced its support for Assemblyman Ruben Diaz Jr. to replace Adolfo Carrion as Borough President. Carrion is taking a new job as director of the White House Office of Urban Affairs. At a meeting held by Bronx Party leaders Saturday, Assemblyman Diaz presented himself as a candidate and received over whelming support. The date of the special election to fill the vacancy has yet to be determined.
