Geography

2020s

District 23, following redistricting in 2020, largely resembles its composition in the 2010s. The Brooklyn portion of the district was altered to include Manhattan Beach and portions of Sheepshead Bay, and remove the portion of Sunset Park.

The district overlaps with New York's 8th and 11th congressional districts, the 41st, 45th, 46th, 61st, 63rd, and 64th districts of the New York State Assembly, and the 46th, 47th, 48th, 49th and 50th districts of the New York City Council. [5]

2010s

District 23 covers much of the North Shore of Staten Island, including the neighborhoods of Marines Harbor, Elm Park, West New Brighton, St. George, Stapleton Heights, Arrochar, and Dongan Hills. The district also encompasses parts of some southern Brooklyn neighborhoods, including Bensonhurst, Brighton Beach, Coney Island, Dyker Heights, Gravesend, and Sunset Park. [1] [6]

The district overlaps with New York's 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th congressional districts, and with the 41st, 45th, 46th, 47th, 49th, 51st, 61st, 63rd, and 64th districts of the New York State Assembly. [7]
