Unlike city Civil Court candidates, Supreme Court candidates do not run in a primary. For those looking to join Queens Supreme Court, they must get the backing of the party’s chair, Rep. Gregory Meeks. He was appointed as an interim Civil Court judge by former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio in 2018. She eventually became a court attorney for the city and transferred to Queens Supreme Civil Court in 2024. Adams has been serving as a Queens Civil Court judge since January.
