NYC’s June 25 primary includes Assembly battles in 4 boroughs
Some of the New York state Assembly’s longest-serving members are retiring at the end of the year, marking a loss of institutional knowledge and kicking off a free-for-all in their New York City-based districts.
Some Democrats in four of the five boroughs — Staten Island is out of luck — will have state Assembly primaries to decide, including high-profile races to replace long-standing, retiring members. But there are also upstart challengers looking to unseat Democratic incumbents — often by running to their left. And for Republicans, there’s just one state legislative primary in Queens.The race to replace Aubry — whose district stretches from East Elmhurst to Rego Park and includes LaGuardia Airport and Citi Field — pits Democratic district leaderHooks, who has Aubry’s backing, is a longtime community organizer who used to be president of the East Elmhurst-Corona Civic Association.
Meanwhile, four Democrats are looking to replace Harlem’s Inez Dickens, who is retiring after she was first elected to the Assembly in 2016:Wright is the son of former Assemblymember and current Manhattan Democratic Party boss Keith Wright and managed City Councilmember Yusef Salaam’s campaign. Harmongoff was an aide to ex-Lt. Gov. Brian Benjamin during his time as a state senator. Schley is an affordable housing activist and former congressional candidate.
