In Assembly District 45 in Brooklyn, incumbent Democrat Steven Cymbrowitz faces a primary challenge from Ben Akselrod.
This is a race that could go Republican in November. Republicans that might run for the race include Russell Gallo and David Storobin. Storobin just won a special election in a state senate seat that was essentially eliminated in redistricting.
