Several Bronx candidates secure key endorsements from labor, religion and housing groups in 2025 races
As races for mayor and city council heat up ahead of the June Democratic primary, key leaders of religious, labor and housing organizations have begun to announce their endorsements of Bronx candidates.
New Yorkers will cast their votes for mayor, comptroller, public advocate, and all 51 City Council seats in this election cycle—where endorsements can play a crucial role, particularly in primaries, by offering voters a quick guide as to which candidates are worthy of their attention.
Mayoral candidate and Bronx native Michael Blake has received several endorsements from leaders of local Baptist, Methodist, African Methodist Episcopal, and Muslim congregations.
Among the Bronx faith leaders backing Blake are Imam Alprentice McCutchen of Masjid Sabur; Rev. Torrence Robinson of Gethsemane Baptist Church; Rev. Dr. Sheldon Williams of Co-op City Baptist Church; and Rev. Heidi Thomas of Crawford United Methodist Church. Leaders from an additional ten congregations across Harlem, Queens, and Brooklyn have also endorsed his campaign.
