The focus in New York City is turning to this year's City Election Cycle. There will be dozens of Races on the Ballot for Primaries in September and the General Election in November, including Mayor Bill de Blasio’s attempt at Re-Election.
The other Citywide positions of Public Advocate and Comptroller will also be voted on, as well as all Five Borough Presidents, all 51 City Council Seats, and two District Attorney positions in Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Candidates continue to declare their intentions to Run and File with the State Board of Elections and City Campaign Finance Board. While Filing a campaign Committee with the Campaign Finance Board happens on a rolling basis, the most recent Filing deadline for Financial Disclosures was mid-March, which helps give a sense of the Field for each City Race, though there are still some Candidates who will enter Races in the coming weeks and months.
Public Advocate Letitia James and Comptroller Scott Stringer are running for Re-Election to their posts, as are all Five of the Borough Presidents: Queens’ Melinda Katz, Manhattan’s Gale Brewer, Staten Island’s James Oddo, Brooklyn’s Eric Adams, and Ruben Diaz Jr. of the Bronx.
In the City Council, there are just Seven of the 51 Members who are term-Limited from running for Re-Election. One now former Council Member, Inez Dickens, was recently Elected to the State Assembly and State Senator Bill Perkins was Elected to the Vacant Seat in a special Election. There are several current State Legislators running for City Council Seats and one, Assemblymember Nicole Malliotakis, who is running for the Republican Nomination for Mayor. Additionally, City Council Member Julissa Ferreras-Copeland has decided Not to Run for Re-Election, so hers has become an "Open" seat.
While a few City Council Incumbents are facing tough challengers, there will be relatively limited action in City Council Races beyond the Seven "Open" Seats where the current Officeholder is Term-Limited. The competition in several of those Seats looks like it will be fierce.
Below is a running list of Official and Rumored Candidates for the many city Races of 2017.
