Assemblymember Juan Ardila will face off against a familiar face in next year’s primary after a third candidate has officially filed to challenge the scandal-plagued lawmaker for his Western Queens seat.
Sunnyside attorney Johanna Carmona, who ran against Ardila in 2022, has officially filed to be a candidate in the 2024 primary for the 37th Assembly District, state election filings show. Carmona is now the third candidate in the race for the district, alongside Ardila and Democratic Socialists of America-backed labor organizer Claire Valdez.
Carmona, who formerly worked with the seat’s previous holder, Cathy Nolan, is likely to receive the backing of the Queens County Democratic Party. Carmona received the support of the party during her first bid for the seat last year.
In 2022, Carmona placed third in voting for AD37, receiving just shy of 20 percent of the vote behind Aridla and Hunters Point civic leader Brent O’Leary.
Carmona was working as a court attorney in Queens Civil Court until last month, when she began working as legislative administrative manager at City Hall.
The Eagle reported in November from multiple sources that Carmona had been discussing a run in recent weeks at political events, including the SOMOS conference in Puerto Rico. Carmona declined to confirm the reports at the time.
Carmona did not comment on the filling Monday night.
Representatives for the Queens County Democratic did not respond to request for comment.
The field against Ardila has grown since sexual assault allegations first surfaced against him in March.

Another attorney. Why are most politicians lawyers? That is probably one of the biggest reasons that the country is a mess. Too many lawyers in congress. A traitorous crook running against Genocide Joe for president.
Sad ...
She looks better than Juan.

Fugazi victims turn my stomach. I hope karma finds them all and deals fair judgement.
Will she support the progressives stance on public safety ?
Like “stores are lying about shoplifting”...
By the Donor class for the Donor class its a small club and we are not invited.
Look at me. I do all the things I’m told. I believe everything they tell me to believe. I’m mad at what I’m supposed to be mad at and hate what I’m supposed to hate. I’m a good Democrat.
Guessing she is registered a democrat like Mazi Melesa Pilip.
Get out of these leftist Cities/ States if you can. They will continue to get worse.
We did and were much happier. I’ve been trying to convince Queens family members and they refuse. They refuse to see the degradation.
We have so-called conservatives family members who refuse to leave California. We think they are insane.
It's time to boot all of them out of office EVERYWHERE!!!
One question , will she be pushing the narrative too ?
Will she be using AI to communicate with the public like other Electurds ?

@"Move along, nothing to see here. They work for nyc's dept of wealth redistribution "
100% agreed. The wealth is being re-distributed from the poor and middle class to the rich and very rich.
@"College-Level Indoctrination of the Brain Dead Wokie Child Class"
College-level kids are much less indoctrinated than the baby boomer Trumpanzee cancel culture class.
The Murdoch Empire really messed that lot up.
@"Was she Irish Mafia Cathy Nolan's bag girl? "
You mean the Westies? I thought they were in Hell's Kitchen?
@"NYC councilwoman-elect Susan Zhuang admits to quietly using AI"

@"Get out of these leftist Cities/ States if you can. They will continue to get worse."

@"It's time to boot all of them out of office EVERYWHERE!!!"
And you plan to be their replacement?
Will she be different than the rest ?
Mayor Adams padded the city payroll with 293 “special assistants” during his first full fiscal year in office — a more than 20% increase over his predecessor Bill de Blasio, The Post has learned.
