New York Assemblywoman Grace Meng in Queens Tuesday night wins the Democratic primary for the Sixth U.S. Congressional District.

In northeastern Queens, Democrats nominated Assemblywoman Grace Meng to fill a seat vacated by Rep. Gary Ackerman, who is retiring. She will face Republican City Councilman Dan Halloran in a district where Democrats hold an advantage.

If the 36-year-old Ms. Meng wins the general election, she would be the first Asian-American in Congress from New York.

FLUSHING — Assemblywoman Grace Meng took one step closer to becoming the first Asian American woman to represent New York in Congress as she captured the Democratic primary for the 6th Congressional District Tuesday night.

With 89 percent of districts reporting, Meng had a commanding lead over her challengers in her bid to succeed retiring Rep. Gary Ackerman, with 50.8 percent of the vote, compared to 28.3 percent for Assemblyman Rory Lancman and 15.8 percent for City Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley.

"Thank you for taking a leap of faith with me. And I'll always have your back," Meng told supporters at a victory party at the Plum Restaurant in Bayside, where cheering fans waved signs and clapped.
