Democratic state Sen. Simcha Felder is the winner of the 44th Council District special election in Brooklyn.
According to the city’s Board of Elections, with 98.82% of the vote counted, Felder received 81.69% of the vote, while Republican Heshy Tischler garnered 17.31%.
Felder previously held the seat before joining the state Senate in 2013.
Tischler, a conservative radio host and activist, has run for public office multiple times.
The district includes Borough Park, Midwood, and parts of Gravesend.
Kalman Yeger previously held the seat, but he resigned at the end of 2024 after winning an election for the state Assembly’s 41st District.
Felder will now complete Yeger’s two-year term, which began in 2023. He will face a primary in June and a general election in November.

Does that mean that he forfeited his senate seat? And if yes, who replaces him?
What was the actual voter number? I’m curious how many people voted.
Fantastic news!
It’s time that Mr. Tishler permanently throws in the towel. Nobody can tolerate his lack of intelligence.
