Clarisa Alayeto, candidate for Council District 8 representing the South Bronx and East Harlem, has resumed her campaign after being disqualified by the Board of Elections in April following a court battle and a challenge from the Wall Street-funded group backing one of her opponents, attorney Wilfredo Lopez. 

Alayeto, who chairs Bronx Community Board 1, is one of several candidates vying for the council seat, which will be vacated by the term-limited Deputy Speaker Diana Ayala.
