It's Primary Day in New York (again), and within New York City and the surrounding suburbs, there’s plenty of drama and a lot at stake. Here are four major House races to watch
Photo-Illustration: Intelligencer; Photos: Getty Images August in New York has historically never been a time to hold an election of any kind. Vacation season doesn’t peter out until Labor Day, and the more well heeled among us have fled to the Hamptons, the Hudson Valley, Vermont, or anywhere else that offers a beach or just a touch of cool shade.
NY-10: Progressives versus the prosecutor. There are at least six viable Democrats running in a district that spans lower Manhattan, brownstone Brooklyn, Sunset Park, and Borough Park. For a second, Bill de Blasio himself was running, but he dropped out in July.
Rounding out the field are Elizabeth Holtzman — the former U.S. representative, DA, and city comptroller who first rose to fame in the 1970s working on the impeachment of Richard Nixon — and Jo Anne Simon, a veteran assemblywoman from Brooklyn. The race is Goldman’s to lose. NY-17: Mr. Moderate versus the left’s young hope. Voters in this suburban district — taking in Rockland, Ulster, and Westchester Counties — will have a competitive Democratic primary today and another contested election in November. Unlike the other two major primaries, the Democratic seat is in danger of flipping to a Republican.
