Overall, NYC voters had an impact locally and nationwide! We’ll see you at the polls for next year’s election when ALL of NYC’s City Council is on the ballot.

Because Proposal 3 passed → NYC will form an Office of Racial Equity, create Racial Equity Plans, and establish a Commission on Racial Equity. Because Proposal 4 passed → NYC is now required to measure the actual cost of living.

Because Proposal 1 passed → NY state can now sell bonds to fund $4.2 billion worth of environmental projects Because Proposal 2 passed → Introductory text will be added to the New York City Charter to promote justice and equity.

NYC also voted on four ballot proposals. Each one passed, meaning a “YES” on all of them. As a result…

Here’s how to see results specific to where you live, including your Congressional rep, State Senator, and Assembly member: 1️⃣Check your district: findyourpollsite.vote.nyc 2️⃣For results, go to: enr.boenyc.gov

Which party has control in New York’s legislature? → Democrats still maintained the majority in both the State Senate and Assembly. Learn more about NY’s State Senate (nysenate.gov) and State Assembly (nyassembly.gov).

All of New York’s statewide leaders were also on the ballot. Who won? → Governor: Kathy Hochul (Democrat) + Lieutenant Governor: Antonio Delgado (Democrat) → State Comptroller: Thomas P. DiNapoli (Democrat) → Attorney General: Letitia A. James (Democrat)

So, which party has control in Congress? → Democrats maintained a majority in the U.S. Senate and Republicans gained the majority in the U.S. House. In fact, party control for both chambers of Congress was determined by just a few seats.

Who represents NYC in Congress? → New York re-elected Senator Chuck Schumer to the U.S. Senate → We also elected 13 members to represent NYC in the U.S. House of Representatives. See results here: enr.boenyc.gov/OF3CY0PY3.html
