Election Day has arrived, and voters in New York City will elect a new mayor.
Both candidates, Democrat Eric Adams and Republican Curtis Sliwa, are expected to cast their votes this morning.
Today’s first stop will be a polling place in Bedford-Stuyvesant to cast his ballot.
The Brooklyn Borough president’s final campaign stop was last night at a rally in Harlem.
His Republican opponent, Curtis Sliwa, says his decades in the subway leading the unarmed crime-fighting group Guardian Angels qualify him to keep New Yorkers safe.
“There will be safe streets, safe parks, safe subways,” said Silwa. “There will be safe schools. That’s what I’ve been doing as head of Guardian Angels for 42 years.”
“I’m running because I want to make sure this city is a fair city, where children and families are safe… affordable and a fair place to be,” said Adams.
Progressive Alvin Bragg has promised to reduce prosecutions on some crimes like gun possession.
His Republican opponent, Thomas Kenniff, says he would be a more traditional DA.
