  • Incumbent Jaime Williams (D) defeated Jibreel Jalloh 66.0% to 33.8% in the June 23, 2026 Democratic primary. Jalloh remains on the November ballot on the Working Families Party line, so the general election is a rematch between the two.[1][2]

Issue evidence — side by side

Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.

Research notes & limits

Jaime Williams has not completed a Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey in any cycle and has no current campaign website; her recent nyassembly.gov press releases predate the 2025-2026 session, so no current-cycle 'priorities in their own words' statements could be found and researchDepth is marked 'basic' with her record documented from official committee, bill-sponsorship, and floor-vote sources instead. Biographical detail for Jibreel Jalloh comes almost entirely from his own campaign website; no education, employer names, or independent news profile were found, and no prior public office is on record.
