Vote New York

Staten Island’s new 13th district is in dispute over how to fill the newly vacant Judicial Seat. The 13th District makes up all of Staten Island and a small piece of western Brooklyn.

Democrats have filed a lawsuit asking a judge to keep the election for that seat in the soon-to-be-former Second Judicial District, which the Island shares with heavily Democratic Brooklyn.

Republicans called the Democrats’ lawsuit a ploy to maintain control over judgeships for another year, and asked the judge to move the election to the newly created Island district.
