The polls finally closed in the 2021 citywide elections after early and Election Day voters cast their ballots on who will run New York City for the next four years.
As expected, numerous media outlets have called the mayoral race for the Democratic nominee, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, who easily bested his Republic rival, Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa. Adams is projected to replace the term-limited Bill de Blasio on Jan. 1 as New York City’s 110th mayor.
Democrats were also big winners in citywide contests. Public Advocate Jumaane Williams cruised to re-election, while Brooklyn City Council Member Brad Lander won the right to succeed the term-limited Scott Stringer as City Comptroller.
History was also made in Manhattan Tuesday, as voters elected Alvin Bragg as the first Black Manhattan district attorney in history.
All 51 City Council seats and five Borough Presidents are on the line, and there are some surprising results in some Queens and Brooklyn races. For results of the local City Council and borough president races, visit QNS.com for Queens, BrooklynPaper.com for Brooklyn and bxtimes.com for the Bronx.
