With no state budget yet, the members of the state legislature were up in Albany Monday trying to hammer out a deal for a late state budget. Meanwhile at the Bronx Democratic County Headquarters on Williamsbridge Road there was a gathering of friends of City Councilwoman Pierina Sanchez in her reelection bid for the city council. 

Councilwoman Sanchez was joined by Congressman Ritchie Torres whose districts now overlap, Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson, former New York City Schools Chancellor Dr. Meisha Porter, and other supporters of the Bronx Democratic Party and Councilwoman Sanchez. The councilwoman is the lead elected official in the latest attempt to revitalize the Kingsbridge Armory with Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson, and State Senator Robert Jackson. Councilwoman Pierina Sanchez is the Chair of the Committee on Housing and Buildings in the City Council.
