UPDATED: Explainer: Who's up for re-election; which pols represent Brooklyn neighborhoods

With the presidential campaign dominating political coverage across the country, it's easy to forget that plenty of local officeholders will also be on the ballot. Although there aren't yet any candidates on the city Board of Elections list for the Sept. 9 primary, Brooklyn voters will have a lot of decisions to make this fall.

Like members of the U.S. House of Representatives, New York's state legislators serve terms of two years and are up for re-election this year. But matching lawmakers with the neighborhoods in their districts isn't easy. Sites maintained by the Congress and the state legislature (linked below) use Zip codes to help voters identify their legislators.

Zip codes and Assembly, congressional and state Senate districts don't often match up, sometimes with a single Zip code producing a laundry list of lawmakers. And maps of the various districts in New York City aren't much help. For example, the site for the state Senate features an interactive map that only helps voters who know their district's number.

Below is a list of Brooklyn neighborhoods and their representatives. I paired legislators with the locations of their district offices, with some exceptions. For example, state Sen. Diane Savino's district office is located on Staten Island, but her district includes Coney Island, Seagate and parts of Sunset Park. Some lawmakers appear multiple times below because they have more than one district office.

To pair legislators with their neighborhoods, I plotted each district office's street address on onNYTurf's subway map and matched the location with the neighborhoods listed on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Brooklyn bus map. I realize this is an inexact method and leaves out many neighborhoods. I welcome arguments for neighborhood corrections in the comments.
