NYC-CC28: Ty Hankerson (D) wins District 28 primary after five rounds of ranked choice voting
Ty Hankerson, the front-runner in Queens’ District 28 Democratic primary, maintained a first-place lead in the unofficial ranked-choice voting results released Tuesday, July 1, solidifying his position at the top of the race.
Hankerson received the nomination in the fifth round of ranked-choice voting, securing 58.8% of the vote with 6427 votes after 1025 votes were transferred to him following candidate eliminations.
Hankerson will face off against the Republican nominee in the general election on Nov. 4, which will determine the next council member to take over the seat of term-limited City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams.
Hankerson was competing against four other competitors, Romeo Hitlall, Latoya LeGrand, Japneet Singh, and former Council Member Ruben Wills, in the primary on Tuesday, June 24, and was leading the pack after receiving 4,316 votes, or 34.8% of the vote, in the June 25 primary.
