NYC Council poised to have a majority of women members
Women are poised to take over the New York City Council.
As the city Board of Elections continues to sift through mail-in ballots and sort out ranked-choice voting from last Tuesday’s primary election, more than half of the open Council seats are leaning toward women candidates. The results aren’t final yet, but if they hold it would represent a significant shift in the makeup of the city’s legislative body.
“I think it will be fairer a fairer, more just governing body,” predicted Elizabeth Crowley, a former councilwoman who’s now waiting on election results to see if she’ll become the next Queens borough president.
The other candidates who have said they will accept real estate money military veteran Zach Iscol, former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia and former Veterans’ Services Commissioner Loree Sutton have received about $22,000, $16,000 and $6,000, respectively, from people in the industry, according to finance board data. Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, who only recently made his mayoral campaign official, had just 10 donors listed in the finance board’s database as of Jan. 20, none of whom appeared to have ties to the real estate industry.
City Comptroller Scott Stringer pledged in early 2019 that he would not accept contributions from developers for his mayoral campaign. But he did not extend the pledge to a ban on contributions from everyone who works in real estate, and he will not be returning developer donations that he received before making the pledge, he said. His campaign has so far received about $114,000 from real estate professionals.
