New York’s resurgence is on the line as voters cast ballots in this year’s city elections. Returning to normalcy requires the Eric Adams agenda: turning crime around, resolving the homeless crisis, improving schools and restoring business confidence. The next mayor will need all the allies he can get across local government.
Early voting in the five boroughs began Saturday and runs through Sunday, Oct. 31 (hours vary each day). The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 2, when polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 9 p.m.
City Council
- District 32: Joann Ariola (R) faces a dangerously out-of-touch opponent who IDs as a Democratic Socialist in an area long represented by Republican and Democratic moderates. Ariola represents common sense and supports safer streets, school choice and investment in critical infrastructure.
- District 48: Inna Vernikov is a solid Republican with a real shot of defeating her Democratic rival in a section of south Brooklyn where Donald Trump trounced Joe Biden last November.
- District 50: Moderate Democrat Sal Albanese faces Republican David Carr and Conservative George Wonica in this competitive Staten Island race. Albanese is our choice because of his experience and ability to be a voice of reason in a council that will tilt far left in 2022.
Manhattan District Attorney
Republican Thomas Kenniff — a former state prosecutor, defense attorney and Iraq War veteran — is our choice over Alvin Bragg (D), who says he won’t prosecute low-level, nonviolent crimes, like prostitution and shoplifting. Manhattan needs an experienced prosecutor who will put public safety ahead of ideology, left or right.
