NY1 has learned that former City Councilman Leroy Comrie of Queens will challenge embattled state Senator Malcolm Smith in a Democratic primary.
Comrie had represented the 27th Council District in Southeast Queens from 2002 until last year.
He’ll face off against Smith as the state senator awaits trial on federal corruption charges.
Smith and three co-defendants have pleaded not guilty in connection with an alleged scheme to buy a spot for him on last year’s city mayoral ballot.
Comrie is expected to formally announce the run sometime this week.
