Boyland Jr. was found guilty of corruption and was therefore forced to resign. As a result, the seat became open and Walker as well as six others entered the race.[2] In a seven-way primary, Walker secured the nomination with just under 40% of the vote. She would easily win the general election.[3] Walker was sworn into office on January 1, 2015.[4] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://blog.timesunion.com/capitol/archives/216692/central-brooklyn-pols-rally-for-latrice-walker-to-take-boyland-seat/ |title=Central Brooklyn Pols Rally for Latrice Walker to Take Boyland Seat |work=Times Union |date=2014-07-14 |accessdate=2016-01-22 }} 2. ^{{cite news |url=http://observer.com/2014/06/a-new-contender-enters-the-fray-for-convicted-boylands-seat/ |title=A New Contender Enters the Fray for Convicted Boyland’s Seat |work=Observer |date=2014-06-06 |accessdate=2016-01-22 }} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://brooklyn.news12.com/news/latrice-walker-wins-democratic-primary-for-state-assembly-s-55th-district-1.9274974 |title=Latrice Walker wins Democratic primary for state Assembly's 55th District |work=News 12 Brooklyn |date=2014-09-10 |accessdate=2016-01-22 }} 4. ^{{cite news |url=http://www.kingscountypolitics.com/to-be-or-not-to-be-sworn-in-that-remains-a-question/ |title=To Be Or Not To Be Sworn In – That Remains A Question |work=Kings County Politics |date=2014-12-14 |accessdate=2016-01-22 }} External links
