There was no dominant winner in the race to replace former City Councilmember and now Queens Borough President, Donovan Richards, opening the door to the next round in ranked-choice voting, the new method all New York City voters will use to pick their leaders going forward.
The vote in Council District 31 the lines of which go from the Rockaway Peninsula and then jump the water to the inland neighborhoods of Laurelton, Rosedale and Springfield Gardens in southeast Queens were split mostly between two candidates. Selvena Brooks-Powers received 38% of the vote while Pesach Osina trailed her by only 207 votes, garnering about 35% of the vote. Manny Silva came in third with about 10% of the vote.

FOREST HILLS, QUEENS The Queens County Democratic Party and the J.F.K. Regular Democratic Club this week endorsed Lynn Schulman in the crowded race to represent Forest Hills, Rego Park, Kew Gardens and Richmond Hill in the New York City Council.
The endorsements give Schulman s campaign an added boost as she competes against 11 other candidates who have so far registered to run for the seat, currently held by the term-limited City Council Member Karen Koslowitz, who leaves office at the end of this year. Our grassroots campaign is building a robust and diverse coalition for change, Schulman told Patch. I welcome the support of the Queens County Democrats and the JFK Democratic Club because we need to be united as we confront the challenges we face in health care, income inequality, and racial justice.
