2007 NYC Election Scorecard2007 is an “off-year” in New York City politics. There are no Citywide or Statewide positions to be elected and no Congressional seats to be filled. But there will be an election this year in New York City and there even may be some Primary contests. As a public service, I present the list of public offices to be filled this November, with some commentary about who might be running. This list only applies to public office (not party positions like District Leader or Judicial Convention delegate) and does not include special elections. Also, this list is still subject to change because on death or resignation. Manhattan State Supreme Court Justice 4 are to be elected. Because of the actions of the US Supreme Court, candidates will continue to be selected by judicial conventions, not party primaries. Three incumbents are likely to be re-elected without opposition. There is 1 “open” seat. Civil Court Judge 3 are to be elected Countywide. Two incumbents are likely to be re-elected without opposition. There is 1 “open” seat. Democratic Primary contests for countywide seats are rare. The Party’s District Leaders will probably pick the unopposed winner at their May meeting. 2 incumbent Judges elected from Civil Court Districts are also likely to be unopposed. There is 1 “open” seat in the 9th Civil Court District, where a Democratic Primary is possible. This district has elected Republicans in the past (though not in over a decade), so there might be a General Election contest. Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson is expected to be re-elected without opposition. Civil Court Judge 1 incumbent Judge elected from aCivil Court District is likely to be unopposed. Queens District Attorney Richard Brown is expected to be re-elected without opposition. State Supreme Court Justice 3 are to be elected. There are no incumbents running for re-election. All 3 are “open” seats. Civil Court Judge 1 is to be elected Countywide. It is an “open” seat. There are also “open” seats in the 4th and 6th Civil Court District. Democratic Primary contests for any Civil Court seats in Queens are even more rare than elsewhere. The Party’s District Leaders will probably pick the unopposed winners at their May meeting. Brooklyn State Supreme Court Justice 4 are to be elected in the Supreme Court District, which also includes Staten Island. Three incumbents are likely to be re-elected without opposition. There is 1 “open” seat. Civil Court Judge 4 are to be elected Countywide. One incumbent is likely to be re-elected without opposition. There are 3 “open” seats. Unlike Manhattan & Queens, Democratic Primary contests in Brooklyn for countywide seats are common. 1 incumbent Judge elected from a Civil Court District is likely to be unopposed. There are 2 “open” seats, in the 5th and 6th Civil Court Districts, where Democratic Primaries are possible. City Council The winner of the Special Election to be held April 27th in the 40th Council District has to run again. There is likely to be a Democratic Primary because of the controversies in this district, which anyone reading this is well aware of. Staten Island State Supreme Court Justice See my Brooklyn comments. District Attorney Daniel Donovan, the only Republican DA in New York City will have a Democratic opponent. Surrogate The incumbent must retire because of his age. The Democratic candidate is likely to be Supreme Court Justice Robert Gigante. There will also almost certainly be a Republican candidate but I do not know who it is. City Council Vincent Ignizio, elected from the 51st District in a Special Election is expected to run for re-election with no Primary opposition. There may be a Democratic opponent in November. 2007 NYC Election Scorecard
Hey Jerry, are you sure there is a Municipla Court District race in Brooklyn with an incumbent? Which one?

Joseph Silverman, in the 6th District is up for re-election, according to City Clerk.
Silverman is not running in Brooklyn's 6th MCD. Plus you forgot the open seat in the 1st MCD.
As I said, I'm basing this on a lettr sent by City Clerk to the BOE. He listed Joseph Silverman, 6th District, whose term will expire on December 31, 2007. He did not list aybody in the 1st District. If anyone thinks this in incorrect, they should let the the City Clerk & the BOE know.
Jack Battaglia's former 1st MCD seat is vacant; he went to Supreme
Judge Battaglia was elected from the 3rd District. That seat is open this year. I have now been informed that Judge Silverman is ill and even though he can run for re-election this year, he will not. Therefore this is likely to be a contest in District 6.
How about Council District 14 that is represented by Councilwoman Maria Baez? Word is that if Senator Efrain Gonzalez is convicted, she will be picked to take over that seat..... Who then will run for her seat? Word is that her daughter might be in line or maybe her Chief of Staff Robert Barnes...... That's April 24, this Tuesday, not the 27th. I am incorrect about the Bronx Civil Court. There is a vacancy in Civil Court District #1, not an incumbent seeking re-election.
I hear from reliable sources that perennial candidate Noach Dear is running for the seat in the 5th CCD in Brooklyn. He thinks he has a good shot of taking the seat since the district encompasses most of the area he represented in the City Council.
another race Noach Dear is going o lose. His own people can't stand him.
Noach Dear for civil court judge is a joke. The feds found him guilty of campaign finance fraud and he created a nonprofit to use donations for personal spending. He does belong in court, but as a defendant in a criminal case.
