Other closely watched elections using ranked choice voting included the race for city comptroller and several City Council seats.
The Republican primary featured only two candidates. Curtis Sliwa, the Guardian Angels founder, won the nomination and will face the Democratic winner in November. The winner of the Democratic primary is likely to win the general election, given the city’s overwhelming majority of Democratic voters.
Eric Adams: Police reformer with public safety message
Adams’ campaign focused squarely on addressing crime in the city. Though New York is not seeing as high a number of shootings as it did in the crime peaks of the 1980s and 1990s, there has been a roughly 50% uptick compared with last year.
As a former NYPD captain, Adams, 60, regularly pointed to his police experience while on the campaign trail, calling for increased police presence in high-crime neighborhoods and renewed focus on illegal firearms.
Adams has a long history advocating for police reform. He often cites his experience being beaten by New York City police when he was a teen as a motivation to join the department and change it from within.
In the 1990s, he formed 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement Who Care, an advocacy group that sought to fight racial profiling and police brutality while restoring trust among Black residents.
If elected, he would be the city’s second Black mayor. Wiley, who is also Black, or Garcia would be the city’s first woman elected mayor.

Bruce Berg, a political science professor at Fordham University who specializes in New York City politics, said Adams’ moderation and balance on the issue of crime and police reform made him an appealing candidate to some voters.
The New York Times published a map of first-choice votes, showing how candidates fared in each district. Garcia won much of Manhattan, in which there is a larger share of white and wealthy voters, while Adams found much of his support among the city’s Black and Latino and lower income neighborhoods in Brooklyn and the Bronx.
Garcia largely shared a message on crime similar to Adams’, while Wiley advocated for diverting some funds away from the police department and reinvesting them in homeless and mental health services.
