Voters across the 36th Assembly District took to the polls Tuesday morning to elect a successor to fill Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s old seat in a special election that has pitted three progressive candidates against each other.
Diana Moreno, an organizer within the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA); Rana Abdelhamid, founder of local anti-violence non-profit Malikah; and Mary Jobaida, a Bangladeshi immigrant advocating for the Queensbridge Houses community, are all contesting the ongoing special election.
