New York City's 35th City Council district is one of 51 districts in the New York City Council. It is currently represented by Democrat Crystal Hudson, who took office in 2022.[3]

Geography[]

District 35 covers a series of Brooklyn neighborhoods to the north and east of Prospect Park, including Prospect Heights, Clinton Hill, Fort Greene, and parts of Bedford–Stuyvesant and Crown Heights.[4] A small section of Prospect Park proper is also located within the district.

The district overlaps with Brooklyn Community Boards 2, 3, 6, 8, and 9, and with New York's 7th, 8th, and 9th congressional districts. It also overlaps with the 20th, 21st, 25th, and 26th districts of the New York State Senate, and with the 43rd, 50th, 52nd, 56th, 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]
