HOLY SHIT THIS IS MASSIVE ZOHRAN ALLY IS RUNNING TO PRIMARY RITCHIE TORRES
I am running for Congress because the people of The Bronx deserve better than Ritchie Torres. I am ready to fight for you and lower your cost of living while Ritchie fights for a Genocide. I will focus on Affordable Housing and Books as Ritchie will only focus on AIPAC and Bibi.
