In the upcoming elections, Bushwick residents will see several familiar faces on the ballot as local incumbents run largely unopposed. However, the race for New York’s 7th Congressional District presents a contest for Bushwick voters, with long-time incumbent Nydia Velázquez facing Republican challenger William Kregler.
So far, a dozen candidates have officially announced their campaigns for the position including Bushwick’s District 37 City Councilmember , Rafael Espinal.
Justice Kavanaugh was sworn into the United States Supreme Court earlier this month despite being accused of sexual assault by professor Christine Blasey Ford.
