Today, the Board of Elections certified the results for the Democratic primary race in the 86th Assembly District, with the final vote count designating Assembly Member Victor Pichardo as the winner. Assembly Member Pichardo issues the following statement in response to the certification of the election:
“I am honored to have the opportunity to continue to serve and represent my community in Albany for a full term.
I am truly humbled to have received the unwavering support of my neighbors - as well as from a great number of elected officials and unions across both the city and the state - during a tough campaign and while we worked to ensure that this was a fair and clean election. I remain committed to working hard to deliver results and to building a better future for the 86th district.”
We congratulate Assemblyman Pichardo on this victory. Due to the very slim margin ( 2 votes we were told ) we are sure that his challenger will be appalling the Board of Elections certification in the courts.
