Astoria resident Nomiki Konst suspended her three-month-long campaign to represent the new 59th State Senate district and endorsed her progressive rival, Kristen Gonzalez, just as early voting got underway for the Aug. 23 primary election.
Konst announced her decision following a face-to-face meeting with Gonzalez, arranged by state Senator Michael Gianaris at the iconic Neptune Diner on Saturday, Aug. 13.
