Brad Lander solidifies top spot over Corey Johnson in Dem comptroller primary
NY Post
Brooklyn Councilman Brad Lander held on to his lead over City Council Speaker Corey Johnson with the absentee ballots factored in for the Democratic primary race for comptroller, according to unofficial results released Tuesday by the Board of Elections.
The left-wing Lander, who represents Park Slope and surrounding neighborhoods, maintained his separation from the pack and earned 51.9 percent of the vote in the 10th round of ranked-choice voting, while Johnson garnered 48.1 percent in second place. Lander’s new 24,683-vote margin comes after the initial ranked-choice voting tabulation, which did not include the more than 125,000 absentee ballots, showed Lander with a 3.8 percent edge over Johnson. That identical edge was maintained with the absentee ballots counted.More Related News
