The race for City Council District 19, the most competitive council race this year, involves an incumbent facing off against a former incumbent.
One local race to watch on Election Day on Tuesday is for New York City Council District 19, which includes northeast Queens, including College Point, Whitestone and Bayside.
Some might say the gloves have come off in northeast Queens, but that would imply the gloves were put on in the first place. The race for City Council District 19, the most competitive council race this year, is as bare knuckled as they get. Two years ago, Donald Trump-supporting Paladino beat Avella, the former Democratic state senator, and former councilmember who held the seat. But she bested him by only a couple hundred votes.Almost half of the voters in the district are registered Democrats, yet the Republican candidates for mayor and governor trounced Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul in the last election there by double digit margins."She called members of the LGBT+ community degenerates," Avella said.
