NYC-CC13: First time candidate looks to flip Bronx council district back to blue
Whether in rain or shine, Shirely Aldebol is out talking to voters.
The first-time Democratic candidate is hoping her ground game will be enough to get her a seat in office.
“I think it's important for people to be heard and seen because there’s a lot of hopelessness out here," she said.
In February, Aldebol left her executive position at 32BJ to run for office.
Council District 13 covers parts of the Bronx, such as Pelham Bay, Morris Park, Throggs Neck and City Island.
