The polls are closed in the August state Senate and Congressional primaries, and here’s where south Brooklyn’s competitive races stand as of Wednesday.

Congressional District 11 – Max Rose (D) and Nicole Malliotakis (R)

Former congressman Max Rose will once again face off against Republican incumbent Nicole Malliotakis in the race to represent parts of south Brooklyn and Staten Island in the House of Representatives, as both have won their primary bids.
