NEW YORK CITY — The Associated Press has called the race in the Democratic primary in NY-12 for candidate Micah Lasher.

Lasher, an Assemblymember representing the Upper West Side, won the crowded field with roughly 39 percent of the vote.

Close behind is Assemblymember Alex Bores, who represents the Upper East Side, with roughly 35 percent of the vote.

The race to replace longtime Democratic NY-12 Rep. Jerry Nadler, who has served more than 30 years in office, is one everyone has been watching.

The contest to represent NY-12 has drawn endorsements from nationally known politicians. Nadler himself endorsed Upper West Side Assemblymember Micah Lasher as his successor.

Meanwhile, Upper East Side Assemblymember Alex Bores was endorsed by former Rep. Carolyn Maloney, who represented the Upper East Side in Congress before both neighborhoods were combined into one congressional district, and Schlossberg earned an endorsement from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

NY-12 includes the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown, Hell’s Kitchen, Central Park, Union Square, Chelsea and Stuyvesant Town.

Despite the race's high profile, early tallies showed middling voter turnout across New York City. More than 420,527 New Yorkers had checked in to vote by 6 p.m. Tuesday, including mail-in ballots, according to New York City's Board of Elections.

Once all the votes are tallied and certified by the New York City Board of Elections, the official final totals will be announced. All results are unofficial until the Board of Elections certifies them.
