Get your primary on.
The June 26 primary is next Tuesday: do you know where your polling place is? Good time to find out. If you are a first time voter you should find out what you need to know. If you’re longtime voter: you need to know what’s on the ballot so you don’t feel like a total nincompoop when you go to your polling place.
Here’s a complete list of candidates and info from the League of Women Voters.
Perhaps the most important race is the race for Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez’s seat. Her seat is being contested for the first time in two decades. Dan O’Connor, George Martinez, and City Council member Erik Martin Dilan are fighting it out while Velazquez gets a lot of big endorsements.
That said: this is not a shabby group of contenders. You can learn more about these congressional candidates here:
