BROOKLYN HEIGHTS and DUMBO, NY — It was smooth sailing for state and federal Democratic politicians running for office in Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO this election.

Jo Ann Simon handily defeated Republican challenger Daniel Ramos in the 52nd State Assembly District by a nearly 80-point margin. Martin Malave Dilan and Walter T. Mosley cruised through unopposed in the 18th Senate and 57th State Assembly Districts, respectively.
