NYC-CC28: Race to replace Adrienne Adams in Queens' District 28 draws five Democratic candidates

Queens voters will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of New York City government as all 51 City Council seats are up for grabs in the 2025 election cycle. With several incumbents term-limited and new challengers stepping into the spotlight, the borough is home to some of the city’s most closely watched and competitive races.

Candidates are vying to represent a borough that continues to grow in population and diversity, bringing new urgency to local issues like housing, public safety, transit, and education.

The primary election will be held on June 24, followed by the general election on November 4. Ranked-choice voting will once again be used in the primaries, giving voters the opportunity to rank up to five candidates in each race.

The race to succeed term-limited City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams in District 28 is heating up in Southeast Queens, where five Democratic candidates will appear on the ballot in the June 24 primary for Council District 28.
