East Bronx Councilman James Vacca, who could be the next Council speaker, faces Republican/Conservative William Britt in the general election.

With a huge Democratic registration advantage, the Bronx is a tough place for Republican office-seekers. But unlike in other boroughs, at least the GOP is trying here.

All 11 municipal offices tied to the Bronx—the borough presidency and 10 City Council seats—have both Democratic and Republican candidates as well as contestants from other parties. The race for a lone Assembly seat (the one vacated by the indicted Nelson Castro) also offers voters a range of choices.

That’s not the case in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens, where six Council candidates are running totally unopposed and another 16 face no Republican opposition. Staten Island, like the Bronx, has a contest—at least on paper—for every seat.

Below is the list of Bronx candidates vying for municipal office. To see the full list of candidates for citywide and judicial offices, and to read the slew of ballot questions, go here. To find out who’s on the ballot you’ll see at the polls, click here.
