This election, four out of the five borough presidents’ seats are open, which has led to a significant number of candidates running for these largely ceremonial offices. Final results will not be certified for several weeks, but preliminary results of first choice votes show City Council Member Antonio Reynoso with a sizable lead in Brooklyn and City Council Member Vanessa Gibson comfortably ahead in the Bronx. Other races, including in Queens and in the Republican primary in Staten Island, were too close to call. In Staten Island, embattled former Congress Member Vito Fosella was narrowly in the lead, and in Queens, incumbent Donovan Richards was neck and neck with Elizabeth Crowley.
