Governor Kathy Hochul has issued a proclamation declaring that a special election to fill the vacancy in the 43rd Assembly District will be held on Tuesday, March 22nd.
The special election will fill the vacancy created by Diana Richardson, who will serve as Deputy Brooklyn Borough President.
“With Assemblymember Richardson heading to Brooklyn Borough Hall, I am declaring a special election to fill this vacancy and ensure representation for the residents of the 43rd Assembly District,” Hochul said. “Central Brooklyn has been exceptionally well-served by Assemblymember Richardson and the entire borough will be better off for having her in Borough Hall.
