Mathieu Eugene will remain on the ballot to fill the vacant City Council seat in Brooklyn.
A State judge rejected a lawsuit that called for Eugene to be removed from the race.
The lawsuit had claimed Eugene is ineligible to run again for the
seat that he won in a special election. He was never sworn in because
he failed to show documents proving he lived in the district at the
time of the election.
The City Council has called for another special election later this month to fill the seat.
Eugene is once again running and will face Harry Schiffman, a director at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center.
