Louis celebrates her win at Suede Restaurant with Mark Appel and Assemblywoman
Rodneyse Bichotte.
PRIMARY RESULTS
due to the heavily-Democratic district,
which covers parts or all of Flatbush,
East Flatbush, Flatlands, Midwood,
and Canarsie.
She faced the same slate candidates
that ran against her during
the May 14 special election to fill
the seat after now-Public Advocate
Jumaane Williams vacated it in another
special election for that office
in February.
Louis beat Chandler-Waterman
with a 13-point lead, similar to her last
contest, but this time the two shared
almost all of the votes, with the other
hopefuls — Anthony Alexis, Victor
Jordan, Jovia Radix, Xamayla Rose,
Adina Sash, and L. Rickie Tulloch —
each raking in less than 2 percent.
The frontrunners formerly worked
on then-councilman Williams’s staff
and the Public Advocate backed Chandler
Waterman during both elections,
even though Louis held a higher position
as deputy chief of staff.
However, Louis bagged the support
from several infl uential Brooklyn
Dems, including the Democratic party
boss Frank Seddio, Borough President
Eric Adams, as well as Mayor-in-absentia
and presidential candidate Bill
de Blasio, who congratulated Louis on
her victory.
“Congrats to @FarahNLouis on tonight’s
primary win in the 45th Council
district,” he said in a Tuesday night
tweet . “She’s hit the ground running
this year and I look forward to working
with her to fi ght for communities
in central Brooklyn.
Kings County voters also got to cast
their ballot for three judicial races.
Caroline Cohen won the Democratic
race for the Civil Court’s Sixth
Municipal District with 43.4 percent
and 6,477 votes, defeating three challengers.
For the same court, Derefi m Bernadette
Neckles won in a landslide with
72 percent and 28,323 votes, according
to unoffi cial results from the city’s
Board of Elections.
Margarita Lopez-Torres, the incumbent
for the Surrogate’s Court,
defeated her two challengers with 52.7
percent and 22,542 votes, according to
unoffi cial results from the city’s Board
of Elections. Meredith R. Jones fi nished
second with 24.7 percent of the
votes, while Elena Baron recorded 22.2
percent.
