Chu defeated attorney John J. Ciafone in the borough-wide race for Queens County Civil Court judge. With 90.49% of scanners reporting, Chu secured 96,801 votes—58.9% of the total—compared to Ciafone’s 66,405 votes, or 40.4%. The winner of this race will be eligible to serve anywhere within Queens County’s civil court system, handling matters ranging from housing disputes to small claims cases.
