It was the primary race to watch even if District Leader is a fairly obscure position. Unpaid and part-time, it is a powerful job nonetheless. David Friedlander of Politicker NY writes:

There were a series of heated contest in obscure district leader races in much of Brooklyn this year that pitted a group of reformers against those loyal to county boss Vito Lopez, and according to sources with some very early numbers, it appears as if the reformers won out.

Joann Simon and Chris Owens, who were endorsed by OTBKB, were the primary winners in the 52nd AD.

Lincoln Restler won and Warren Cohn are still fighting it out in a recount in their incredibly close race for District Leader in North Brooklyn. I know Kate Zidar did not win but I’m not sure who won for the female spot.
