Queens elected three new judges to its Civil Court Tuesday, all of whom ran on the Democratic Party line. The winning slate includes one candidate who had been considered a controversial and insurgent choice for the bench.
Democratic candidates Julie Milner, Jasmine Valle-Bueno and Edmond Wong handily defeated Republican candidates Thomas Barra and Michael Moosa for seats on the Civil Court bench, earning 31.86% (405,103), 24.06% (306,093) and 24.49% (311,565) of the vote, respectively, to Barra’s 10.02% (127,448) and Moosa’s 9.32% (118,543), according to unofficial reporting from the New York City Board of Elections with 96.33% of ballot scanners counted.
