Geography[]
District 33 covers three distinct sections of Brooklyn's western shoreline: Greenpoint in the north, Vinegar Hill and parts of Williamsburg in the center, and Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, and some of Downtown Brooklyn in the south.[4] Brooklyn Navy Yard and Brooklyn Bridge Park are also located within the district.
The district overlaps with Brooklyn Community Boards 1, 2, 3, and 6, and with New York's 7th, 8th, and 12th congressional districts. It also overlaps with the 18th, 25th, and 26th districts of the New York State Senate, and with the 50th, 52nd, 53rd, and 57th districts of the New York State Assembly.[5]
Recent election results[]
2021[]
In 2019, voters in New York City approved Ballot Question 1, which implemented ranked-choice voting in all local elections. Under the new system, voters have the option to rank up to five candidates for every local office. Voters whose first-choice candidates fare poorly will have their votes redistributed to other candidates in their ranking until one candidate surpasses the 50 percent threshold. If one candidate surpasses 50 percent in first-choice votes, then ranked-choice tabulations will not occur.[6]
