Councilman Ritchie Torres, elected last fall and beginning his first full term last month, has made waves around the city, as an early supporter of East Harlem/South Bronx Councilwoman Melissa Mark-Viverito for Speaker of the City Council and as the body’s youngest member. A resident of the Throggs Neck Houses as a youth and currently representing the 15th District in the Council, Torres now chairs the Council’s Public Housing Committee and is a member of the Council leadership, along with East Bronx Councilman James Vacca.
Today, the Councilman was profiled in Capital NY , and was featured in a City’s Limit’s bronxbureau.org ‘s article last week. The Daily News featured an article on the Councilman in January that posed Torres as a king on throne.
