Yusef Salaam, one of the exonerated "Central Park Five," has won the Democratic primary for a seat on the New York City Council, all but assuring him of eventual victory. Salaam ran on a platform of criminal justice reform, affordable housing, and education, and promised to bring a new perspective to the council. He will face Republican candidate Robert C.
