NYC Major Races & Candidates
Mayoral Race
This is the marquee contest, and it’s a particularly unusual one in NYC history.
Zohran Mamdani (Democrat nominee) — A 33-year-old state assemblymember and self-described democratic socialist. He won the Democratic primary via ranked-choice voting, defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
Andrew Cuomo (Independent in general) — After losing the Democratic primary, he is running as an independent in the general election.
Eric Adams (Incumbent, running as Independent) — Adams withdrew from the Democratic primary and is instead pursuing re-election on independent lines.
Curtis Sliwa (Republican nominee) — Sliwa, previously a perennial candidate, is the Republican nominee.
Other minor candidates — A few minor or third-party candidates have also appeared on the ballot (e.g. Irene Estrada, Joseph Hernandez), though they’re not polling strongly.
Dynamics to watch:
The Democratic primary was widely viewed as a referendum on progressive vs. establishment politics. Mamdani’s victory was seen as a major upset.
Adams’s decision to run as an independent adds volatility — he retains incumbency, but lacks a party base.
Coalitions across ideological lines might matter more than ever, given how fractured the field is.
If you want to read about another mayoral election, Amazon has The Campaign: Rudy Giuliani, Ruth Messinger, Al Sharpton, And The Race To Be Mayor Of New York City.
The Campaign is a close-up look at the paranoid, frenzied, oppressive, and exhilarating world of modern political campaigns—a universe where truth is fungible and moral conviction a mere asset, like good looks or personal wealth.

Comptroller
This is another citywide office on the ballot.
Mark Levine (Democrat) won the Democratic primary.
Peter Kefalas is the Republican candidate.
The incumbent, Brad Lander, chose not to seek re-election in this role because he ran for mayor.
City Council & Borough Presidents
All 51 seats on the New York City Council are up for election on November 4, 2025.
Due to term limits, several incumbents cannot run again, opening competitive primaries in certain districts.
All borough president positions are also on the ballot.
In Manhattan, Mark Levine (incumbent) is not seeking re-election; the Democratic primary includes candidates like Brad Hoylman-Sigal and Shanduke McPhatter.
In Queens, Donovan Richards (incumbent) is running again; Henry Ikezi is the Republican challenger.
In Bronx, Vanessa Gibson (incumbent) is challenged within her party by Rafael Salamanca.
In Staten Island, Vito Fossella (Republican incumbent) runs again; Michael Colombo is running from the Democratic party.
What Matters to Voters
Cost of living, housing, and affordability remain central issues.
Public safety and policing are contentious, especially with divergent views on funding, reforms, and how to respond to mental health crises.
Transportation, public services, and infrastructure are frequently raised in debates, especially in under-resourced neighborhoods.
Because so many races are competitive, coalition building and turnout will be decisive.
The dynamics of ranked choice voting mean candidates need broader appeal, not just a narrow base.
