With 81 percent of votes counted, Republican Kristy Marmorato, an X-ray technician, is projected to win in the 13th District of the Bronx with 53 percent of the vote, defeating Democrat incumbent Marjorie Velázquez who collected 47 percent of the vote.

“That’s a good thing but we need to break in more,” Mike Zumbluskas, a former GOP candidate for New York’s 12th Congressional District, told The Epoch Times. “Part of it is we don’t have the money or the media support that the Democrats have.”
