In the closely contested Democratic primary for District 30, Phil Wong currently leads with approximately 36% of the vote, while Paul Pogozelski and Dermot Smyth trail closely behind. The election results are pending as ranked-choice voting concludes on July 1. Wong credits his supporters and grassroots fundraising efforts for his success, while Pogozelski expresses pride in his young team. The competitive nature of the campaigns highlights the intense environment leading up to the primary results, which will ultimately decide Holden's successor.
"Campaigns are hard. They're brutal," Wong said from his Maspeth campaign headquarters Tuesday night. So, I had a really strong team of supporters. They were all very supportive."
"My whole team is 28 years old and younger, and I have a lot of volunteers who did phone calls for me. They did door knocking for me, and for this crew, we are thrilled with the outcome."
