State Senator Simcha Felder has been elected to the New York City Council, securing the seat for the 44th District in a closely watched race against Heshy Tishler. The district includes portions of Boro Park, Midwood, and Flatbush.
Felder fills the vacancy left by former Councilman Kalman Yeger, who was elected to the New York State Assembly earlier this year. Felder’s City Council term will run through the end of 2025, after which he will need to compete in the June primaries and November general election to win a full four-year term.
The outcome marks Felder’s return to the City Council, where he previously served before moving on to the State Senate. His victory also triggers the process of filling his now-vacant Senate seat, with a special election expected to be scheduled in the coming weeks.
More details on the upcoming races and special election timeline are expected soon.
