2017
Yeger originally filed to challenge Chaim M. Deutsch for the District 48 seat on the city council in 2017.[2] However, Councilman David G. Greenfield withdrew from the District 44 race after the filing deadline, and his campaign selected Yeger to replace him on the ballot.[3][1] New York City held elections for mayor, public advocate, comptroller, and all 51 seats on the city council in 2017. New Yorkers also voted for offices in their boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.
Primary elections were scheduled for September 12, 2017, and the general election was on November 7, 2017. Under New York law, candidates who run unopposed in a primary or general election win the nomination or election automatically, and their names do not appear on the ballot.[4] Kalman Yeger (D) defeated Yoni Hikind (Our Neighborhood) and Harold Tischler (School Choice) in the general election for the District 44 seat on the New York City Council.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
