Tuesday, September 18, 2007 is a primary day in New York City. In the absence of any well-known statewide candidates, there has not been much publicity, although there are a multitude of obscure local races.

The most controversial contests are in Brooklyn: a Surrogate Court race between ShawnDya Simpson and Diana Johnson, a Civil Court race in District 5 between Karen Yellen and Noach Dear, and a Civil Court race in District 6 between Katherine Levine and Sharon Hudson. Brooklyn members would be well advised to mark your calenders and read up on these contests:

Races for party offices in the other boroughs include:

  • Manhattan (Dem) - District Leaders, County Committee, Delegates to Judicial Committee
  • Bronx (Rep) - Committee, County Committee, Delegates to Judicial Committee
  • Queens (Rep) - Committee, County Committee, Delegates to Judicial Committee
  • Staten Island - none

The Bronx, Queens and Staten Island District Attorneys are seeking re-election in November but face no significant opposition.

A complete list of candidates is available from the NYC Board of Elections Website.

You can find your districts at NYC.gov.

The general election is on November 6, 2007
