Five candidates are vying to replace term-limited Council Member Carlina Rivera in the Democratic primary for Manhattan’s District 2 on June 24.
Prominent contenders aiming to fill the City Council seat, which covers Gramercy, the Lower East Side, East Village, Greenwich Village, Midtown South–Flatiron–Union Square, and Murray Hill–Kips Bay, include a sitting Assembly Member, the chair of Manhattan Community Board 3, and a disgraced former pol seeking a comeback.
