Early voting for the 2025 New York City Primary starts on June 14, and as voters prepare to head to the polls, one Brooklynite is hoping to unseat one of Brooklyn’s best-known City Council members.

In Council District 36, which includes most of Bedford-Stuyvesant and parts of Crown Heights, Reginald Swiney is challenging incumbent Chi Ossé in the Democratic primary. There will not be a Republican primary in the district.
