Elected Comptroller

Brad Lander
Democratic

The 2021 New York City Comptroller election consisted of Democratic and Republican primaries for New York City Comptroller on June 22, 2021, followed by a general election on November 2, 2021. The primaries were the first NYC Comptroller election primaries to use ranked-choice voting. [1] The primary and general election were held alongside concurrent primaries and elections for mayor, Public Advocate, Borough Presidents, and City Council.

Contents

Incumbent New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer was barred from running for a third term by term limits, and ran for mayor. [2] The Democratic candidate, City Council Member Brad Lander won the general election over the Republican candidate Daby Benjaminé Carreras. Lander took office as the 45th NYC Comptroller on January 1, 2022.

Democratic primary

Background

The first candidate to enter the race was New York City Council Member Helen Rosenthal, who filed to run for the position on June 16, 2018, three years before the election was due to take place. [3] Rosenthal stated that the early campaign filing was to allow for people who wanted to support her run to donate, and that she would only begin campaigning "in a few years". [3] Brad Lander, another City Council Member, announced his campaign in January 2019. [4] Lander was considered to be a staunchly left-wing Democrat. [5] Rosenthal withdrew from the race on July 10, 2020, citing poor fundraising numbers. [6]

By October 2020 four people had emerged as likely major candidates; State senators Brian Benjamin and Kevin Parker, Lander, and state assemblyman David Weprin. [7] Of the four, Benjamin and Lander had achieved larger fundraising hauls and more support from elected officials. [7] Benjamin officially launched his campaign on October 16, emphasizing his experience in the State Senate and work on police reform, and also drawing attention to his experience in the finance industry. [7] Benjamin's base of support was primarily concentrated in Upper Manhattan, and he posted strong fundraising numbers following his announcement. [7] By this stage of the campaign Lander was considered the frontrunner by the Gotham Gazette , as his base of support among left-wing Democrats was not limited to a single borough. [7] Parker announced his campaign on November 12, emphasizing his work on police reform in the State Senate. [8] Parker was noted by the Gazette as having posted weak fundraising numbers in comparison to the other candidates, and he had a history of personal controversies that were considered potential hindrances to his campaign. [8] Weprin announced his campaign on December 6, emphasizing his experience with New York City's finances as a result of his previous experience on the City Council. [9] Weprin's base of support was localised mostly in Queens, and he campaigned as a moderate. [9] [10]

During January 2021, two additional candidates entered the race; Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, a former journalist who had unsuccessfully attempted to run for congress in 2020, and Zach Iscol, a non-profit executive who had previously been running for Mayor of New York. [11] Both Caruso-Cabrera and Iscol portrayed themselves as moderates, with Caruso-Cabrera emphasising her experience reporting on finance as a journalist, while Iscol was noted as a close associate of the Clinton family. [11] [12] Upon his entry into the race, Iscol was criticised by Benjamin, who described him as a "privileged and failed mayoral candidate". [11] In February 2021, Speaker of the New York City Council Corey Johnson, who had waged an abortive campaign for mayor the previous year, began to privately signal that he was interested in running for Comptroller. [13] Johnson was held to be a formidable candidate, as the high public profile of his position as Council speaker meant that he had far higher name recognition than the other candidates, and he had also amassed a considerable financial war chest due to his brief mayoral campaign. [13] However, Johnson had also undergone a politically damaging fight the previous year over the budget of the New York Police Department, where his attempts to bridge the gap between factions who wanted to maintain the department's budget and those who wanted to reduce it considerably had left him unpopular with both. [13]

On March 9, 2021, Johnson entered the race, promising to run a positive campaign in his launch announcement. [14] Johnson's entry into the race dealt a considerable blow to Lander, as both men were felt to be on the left of the Democratic Party, but Johnson had far higher name recognition and more support from labor unions. [15] Johnson's entry into the race also caused several elected officials who had previously been expected to endorse Lander, such as popular Bronx Congressman Ritchie Torres, to instead throw their support behind Johnson. [15] Lander's campaign would receive a boost in early March, however, when well-known Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was popular among progressives, endorsed him, which was viewed as helping Lander appeal to more left-wing voters. [16]

Candidates who raised at least $125,000 from at least 500 donors qualified for matching city funds from the New York City Campaign Finance Board, on an 8-to-1 match basis. [17] As of February 16, 2021, three candidates had qualified for matching funds: Benjamin, Iscol, and Lander. [17] Prior to the primary, Corey Johnson was considered the frontrunner, with Lander and Caruso-Cabrera vying for second place. [18] [5]

The 2023 New York City Council elections were held on November 7, 2023, with primaries having occurred on June 27, 2023. Due to redistricting and the 2020 changes to the New York City Charter, councilmembers elected during the 2021 and 2023 City Council elections will serve two-year terms, with full four-year terms resuming after the 2025 New York City Council elections. Party nominees were chosen using ranked-choice voting.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2025 New York City mayoral election</span>

An upcoming election for the mayor of New York City is scheduled to be held on November 4, 2025. Incumbent mayor Eric Adams is running for re-election to a second term. He was indicted on federal corruption charges in September 2024, and has faced calls to resign from office.
