Staten Island Democrats have nominated a risqué, wise-cracking lawyer and ex-reality TV star to serve as commissioner on the city Board of Elections.

Michele Sileo — who starred in “Staten Island Law,” which briefly aired on the Oprah Winfrey Network in 2013 — also made headlines in 2016 when her NYPD officer husband James Grant was engulfed in a corruption scandal.

The Staten Island Democratic Party leadership and the borough’s North Shore Councilwoman Kamillah Hanks agreed to nominate the 50-year-old Sileo, ending an internal party dispute.

Party leaders previously recommended former Councilwoman Debi Rose, Hanks’ predecessor, to the Democratic elections commissioner post.

But Hanks, who had feuded with Rose, blocked her nomination, with the Council’s blessing.
