NYC Primaries | Meet the candidates running in Council District 46

With just weeks to go until New York City’s June 27 primary — and early voting running from June 14 to 22 — the race for City Council District 46 is picking up steam, as two Democratic candidates go head-to-head in one of southern Brooklyn’s most diverse and sprawling districts.

Incumbent Council Member Mercedes Narcisse is seeking a second term representing the district, which includes Bergen Beach, Canarsie, Flatlands, Georgetown, Gerritsen Beach, Marine Park, Mill Basin, Mill Island and parts of Sheepshead Bay. She’s facing a primary challenge from Dimple Willabus, an education advocate looking to unseat Narcisse and bring new leadership to the City Council.
