NEW YORK (AP) — Rep. Nydia Velazquez easily beat her opponent in the Democratic primary for New York’s 7th Congressional District.
In unofficial results, Velazquez on Tuesday had about 83 percent of the vote and attorney Jeffrey Kurzon had about 17 percent. Velazquez will now go on to the general election in November.
The district covers parts of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Velazquez is currently serving her 11th term in the U.S. House of Representatives.
