Juliemar Ortiz will take on fellow Democrat Herron Gaston and Republican Mike Garrett to replace outgoing state Sen. Dennis Bradley in the 23rd District.
Juliemar Ortiz needs more registered voters signatures to appear on the election ballot as the Working Families third party’s candidate against Herron Gaston.
City Councilman Marcus Brown declared victory over nine-term state Rep. Jack Hennessy, although no unofficial results were in from city registrars at that time.
Herron Gaston, a Yale-educated activist who currently serves as an assistant chief administrative officer for Mayor Joe Ganim, beat incumbent Dennis Bradley.
