Monique Chandler-Waterman won the Democratic nomination on Thursday for the special election in Assembly District 58, encompassing parts of East Flatbush, Canarsie, and Brownsville, aiming to secure the seat in the May 24 contest just weeks before the previously-scheduled June primary.

Chandler-Waterman, the director of ground support at the city’s Test and Trace Corps, and a previous candidate for City Council in 2019, won a unanimous vote of the district’s County Committee members to be selected as the nominee, she told Brooklyn Paper.
