(PRESS RELEASE) Janice Chen Responds to Ballot Challenge: “The Machine Won’t Silence Our Community”

Brooklyn, NY — Today, Janice Chen, candidate for Kings County Civil Court, issued a statement addressing ongoing attempts by the Democratic political machine to remove her from the ballot—despite overwhelming grassroots support and a legal victory in Supreme Court.

“Over the course of petitioning, my team and I gathered nearly 11,000 signatures from community members across Brooklyn—far exceeding the requirement. These signatures are a powerful demonstration of the support we’ve built from everyday New Yorkers who believe in fairness, transparency, and representation on the bench,” said Chen.

“Unfortunately, the Democratic machine has worked tirelessly to keep me off the ballot, not by winning over voters, but by trying to disqualify me in court. We prevailed in the Supreme Court, and we prevailed in the Appellate Division, First Department unanimously 5-0. But now, they are taking their challenge to the Court of Appeals—a costly and time-consuming tactic designed to drain resources and block qualified candidates like myself from reaching the ballot.”

“This isn’t just about me. This is about silencing the will of Brooklyn residents who deserve the right to choose their judges. These efforts are part of a broader strategy to preserve power at the expense of democracy.”

“As an Asian American woman, I am all too familiar with what it means to be underestimated and dismissed. But I will not be deterred. The community has made its voice clear. I am standing strong, and I am staying on this path because Brooklyn deserves better.”

Chen is urging all Brooklynites to stay informed, spread the word, and most importantly—vote in the Primary Election on June 24.

“This moment is bigger than one campaign. It’s a call to action. Let’s stand up against these political games and fight for a fair and inclusive system. I’m asking Brooklyn voters to make their voices heard at the ballot box.”
