Incumbent U.S. Rep. Grace Meng<\/a> clinched the District 6 Democratic primary after securing nearly 57% of the vote in the race against challenger Chuck Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel great,\u201d Meng said to her supporters at an election night watch party in\u00a0Flushing<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m very grateful to the community \u2014 everyone worked really hard. It was a rainy day, but I think we really showed our love for the community, and that they want me to continue to do the work that I\u2019ve been doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of 10:25 p.m., Meng has received 18,080 (56.9%) votes compared to Chuck Park, her opponent, who received 13,625 (42.8%). That is a 14.1% difference in votes.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cTonight, Queens spoke, and I am humbled and grateful for the trust this community has placed in me,\u201d said Meng. \u201cOver the past several years, we have delivered real investments \u2014 for our families, our schools, our small businesses, and our NYCHA communities \u2014 and tonight the people of Queens clearly said \u2018keep going.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Meng currently serves as the only Asian-American Congress Member hailing from New York. Meng wears many hats, including chair of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus and a co-chair of the House Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Antisemitism.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis victory belongs to every volunteer, organizer, and neighbor who believed that the work we\u2019ve been doing together matters, and I want to congratulate Chuck Park on running a hard and spirited campaign,\u201d said Meng. \u201cNovember is next, and I am asking every New Yorker who believes in what we\u2019re fighting for to stay engaged, show up, and help us take back Congress so we can take back this country from Donald Trump and his corrupt regime.\u201d<\/p>\n

Congressional District 6 encompasses Auburndale, Bayside, East Elmhurst, Elmhurst, Flushing, Forest Hills, Glendale, Kew Gardens, Maspeth, Middle Village, Murray Hill, Woodside and Rego Park, amongst other places. The position has been held by Meng since 2013 \u2013 now, this will be her eighth term in Congress.<\/p>\n
