Queens voters selected nominees for three Civil Court judgeships in Tuesday’s Democratic primary election, with Sheridan C. Chu, Eve Cho Guillergan, and Juliette-Noor Haji holding strong leads in their respective races, according to unofficial results from the New York City Board of Elections.
Chu, an administrative law judge and Flushing resident, 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.
