Kristy Marmorato (née Rendino; born August 18, 1978)[1] is an American healthcare professional and politician from the neighborhood of Throggs Neck[2] in The Bronx, New York. Marmorato was elected as the first Republican to be sent from the Bronx to the New York City Council in over 40 years,[3] beating incumbent Democrat Marjorie Velázquez in the November 7, 2023 general election.[citation needed]
Marmorato was born, raised, and educated in The Bronx. She grew up in Throggs Neck and as an adult lived in both Pelham Bay and Country Club. She currently resides in Morris Park.[citation needed]
In her 2023 campaign for the New York City Council, Marmorato ran on a tough-on-crime and anti-upzoning message.[4][5] Marmorato had criticized Democratic incumbent Marjorie Velazquez for supporting the construction of 349 housing units (168 of which were affordable housing) in Throggs Neck.[5] Observers at the time attributed Marmorato's victory in the race to Velazquez's support for the affordable housing project.[6][4][5]
She is married with one daughter.[citation needed]
