NEW YORK (PIX11) — Democrat Brad Hoylman-Sigal has won the Manhattan borough president election, according to the Associated Press.
The former state senator for the 47th District will be the 29th Manhattan borough president and the first LGBTQ+ man to hold the position.
Hoylman-Sigal campaigned on the issues of protecting tenants and building affordable housing, improving schools, getting illegal guns off the streets and “protecting [New Yorkers’] civil liberties from the Trump administration.”
Just weeks ago, Hoylman-Sigal attended the “No Kings” march in Times Square in defiance of the Trump administration and its policies.
As state senator, Hoylman-Sigal represented Greenwich Village, Chelsea, Hell’s Kitchen, the Upper West Side and part of Central Park. He focused heavily on progressive reforms to housing, transportation, education, LGBTQ+ rights and other issues.
He helped pass over 350 bills in the state Senate, including the Child Victims Act and Adult Survivors Act, which allowed survivors of sexual offenses for which the statute of limitations had lapsed to file civil suits for one year.
The 60-year-old will succeed Mark Levine, who has held the office since 2022.
