There’s an election on today, Bushwick! And it’s an important one for state and local issues: It’s the state legislature primaries, and there are over 200 seats in both the New York State Senate and New York State Assembly which need to be filled in two months time.
All 63 members of the New York State Senate and all 150 members of the New York State Assembly will be up for grabs this year; the parties will pick their nominees on September 13.
In case you were wondering, all of Bushwick lies in the 18th district, currently represented by Martin Malave Dilan in the Senate. He is up against Debbie Medina in the primaries, who earlier this year, aligned herself with the policies of Bernie Sanders.
