Independence Party Breaks Records


New York City Elects First Independent Mayor with

142,817 (150,073 w/absentee) Votes for Bloomberg on Column "C"

The New York City Independent Party Organizations supports political reforms that bring the one million New York independents into the heart of the political process. Initiatives like nonpartisan municipal elections, seating independents on the Board of Elections, separating party interest from the public interest and making sure that good policy, rather than partisan politics, guides the running of this city - are the core principles of our independent movement.

We have worked to build a new electoral coalition in New York City, the Black and Independent Alliance, which took center stange in 2005 with 47% of African Americans voters and 65% of independent voters gave their support to the Independence Party's mayoral candidate, Mike Bloomberg, in his re-election bid. We've partnered with Mike Bloomberg since 2001, when the votes on our line gave him his first margin of victory. In 2007, Mayor Bloomberg became an independent himself and we believe he has governed our city in a nonpartisan fashion.

New Yorkers now have an independent mayor. Use this 2009 NY Mayor Voter Results LINK to view a breakdown analysis of the vote.
