Assemblymember Ron Kim, who represents the 40th Assembly District in Flushing, won the Democratic primary Tuesday, beating challenger Yi Andy Chen by about 14 points.
Kim, who generated 54% of the vote, will now go on to face Republican challenger Philip Wang in November’s general election in what could be a hotly contested race. The pair will be vying to represent a district that covers the neighborhoods of Flushing, Murray Hill and Linden Hill.
