Williamsburg Councilmember Antonio Reynoso declared victory in the Democratic primary for the Brooklyn borough president’s race on Tuesday, after a count of absentee ballots showed him firmly in the lead.
With the ballots counted and preliminary ranked-choice tabulations available, Reynoso holds a 54.8 percent lead to Assemblymember Jo Anne Simon’s 45.2 percent. Simon conceded to Reynoso soon after the data was released.
