“I had been contemplating whether to run this upcoming election cycle,” Duran said, addressing the room. “But the Chairman made an excellent point—we’ve made great progress this election cycle, and we need to keep that momentum going. With my experience and leadership, I believe I can bring a fresh, but necessary voice to New York City.”
Duran’s announcement was met with enthusiasm from the crowd, with many seeing his candidacy as a key step in maintaining the momentum the Bronx Conservative Party has built.
Additionally, the Bronx Conservative Party announced that they are actively seeking candidates for both legislative and non-legislative offices across the county, signaling a strong push for conservative representation in the upcoming 2025 election cycle.
