"It's Tough Being a Republican in the Bronx"

Newly elected City Councilwoman Kristy Marmorato says it won’t be easy being the first Bronx Republican to hold a City Council seat in 50 years — but she vowed to stand for conservative values like education and public safety while even working with the likes of AOC.

“It’s tough being a Republican in The Bronx,” she told The Post Wednesday. “I listened to people and they appreciated that.”

The 45-year-old health care worker said that high on her list of priorities are school choice, strengthening the NYPD and stopping a controversial halfway house in her north Bronx district.

She recognized she will have to work across the aisle — saying that even though she is the “polar opposite” of Socialist Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she would like to meet her to talk about issues as their districts partially overlap. That is if she can find her.
