There’s less than a week until the August Primary caps on Tuesday, Aug. 23, Election Day. Here’s a recap of some of the major State Senate races.
“The redrawing of State Senate lines created very different districts with unusually competitive races. Voters should take this opportunity to know who is running to represent them, and where candidates stand on important reform issues,” said Betsy Gotbaum, executive director of Citizens Union.
Incumbent Sen. Kevin Parker is plotting another reelection in his almost expansive 20-year career, against new and progressive blood. Parker is up against Kaegan Mays-Williams and Democratic Socialists of America backed David Alexis. “I’m not going to win or lose my election based on a three-month campaign, I’m going to win or lose based on my record. And the reality is when you look at things that matter I am not just involved in those issues but I’m the leader of those issues,” said Parker at a campaign fundraiser.
Meanwhile, longtime Senator Robert Jackson is running for reelection to represent the 31st Senate District. Jackson was most recently endorsed by Former Bronx Borough President Fernando Ferrer.
