Mark Levine, the Democratic City Council member representing New York City’s seventh district, is running for Manhattan borough president. Levine has represented the district, which encompasses Morningside Heights, West Harlem, Washington Heights, and a section of the Upper West Side, since 2014.
The New York City Council is the city’s legislative body and has 51 members, each of whom represents a district of the city. Council members are elected for a four-year term, renewable only once. Beyond their legislative powers, they are responsible for approving the city’s budget, and they focus much of their attention on land use.
