NY-15: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorses Rep. Ritchie Torres in reelection bid

Rep. Ritchie Torres received the endorsement of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Monday, adding another high profile backer to his reelection bid to represent the Bronx’s 15th congressional district, which covers a majority of the borough.

Pelosi praised Torres’ record in the Bronx in a statement announcing her endorsement. Torres has represented the 15th district since 2021 and had previously served on the New York City Council from 2014 to 2020.

“Every day, he brings the needs and voices of his community to the halls of Congress with integrity, energy, and purpose,” Pelosi said.

Pelosi, who served as Speaker from 2007 to 2011 and again from 2019 to 2023, represented California’s 11th Congressional District for nearly four decades and was the first woman to hold the role.
