NY-15: Rep. Ritchie Torres secures Congressional Black Caucus PAC endorsement

Rep. Ritchie Torres has secured a key endorsement from the Congressional Black Caucus PAC as the crowded race for NY-15 heats up.

“Ritchie Torres is a serious and effective legislator who shows up every day for his district,” said Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, who chairs the caucus, in a statement announcing the endorsement.

“He has never forgotten where he came from, stayed grounded in his roots, stood shoulder to shoulder with his community, and been a tireless advocate for Black Americans in the Bronx and across the country.”

The Congressional Black Caucus includes House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York’s 8th District, along with several relatively young representatives who have made a name for themselves on the progressive left, such as Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Maxwell Alejandro Frost of Florida and Jasmine Crockett of Texas.
