Dear Constituent,

This summer I have been busy both in Washington, D.C. and here at home fighting for the people of the South Bronx. We have been able to introduce and pass meaningful legislation this summer. I have also been able to celebrate and recognize the well deserved accomplishments of many resident, as well as listen to many of the questions and concerns of constituents. I am proud to call the Bronx home, and I will continue fighting for the communities in my district.

If you need assistance with a government agency, please do not hesitate to contact my office at (718) 503-9610.

Sincerely,

Ritchie Torres
