Complete Brooklyn primary results: Vindication for Simon; Hamilton over Dorancy; Barron is back
De Blasio endorsements don't all go as planned
In Brooklyn, voters in Tuesday’s primary voted for governor, lieutenant governor, and in many districts Assemblymember or state Senator.
Zephyr Teachout, a political unknown just a month or two ago, outperformed expectations to garner 35 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s primary against Gov. Andrew Cuomo. In Brooklyn, she received roughly 30 percent of the vote.
While Cuomo received almost 62 percent of the vote, Teachout’s strong showing demonstrated voter unhappiness with the governor’s performance on issues like school funding and hydrofracking, and disappointment in his Moreland Commission scandal.
