Antonio Reynoso wins Democratic primary

Councilman Antonio Reynoso coasted to victory last night in the Democratic primary for City Council.

Seeking a second term, Reynoso, who represents Williamsburg, East Williamsburg, Bushwick and parts of Ridgewood, Queens, collected 6,452 votes, or 64 percent of the total vote, according to the Board of Elections.

His Democratic challenger, district leader and educator Tommy Torres, got 3,527 votes, or 35 percent.

In a district dominated by Democrats, Reynoso will likely retain his seat after November’s general election.
