Mayor Eric Adams: The First Vegan Mayor?

After flubbing the first unofficial count, the Board of Elections wasn't going to do it again. They didn't release the results until the early evening, after earlier tweeting to expect a more "brunch" time result. Either way, the main results were not too surprising.

Eric Adams had a small lead before the absentee ballots were counted with Kathyrn Garcia a close second. Same thing yesterday -- less than a 9K difference, without the same chance of catching up with the remaining votes. Garcia and Wiley conceded today, even if it won't be truly official for another week. Other races also seemed set.

As noted in the article, a major goal this time was a female mayor. It is open to some debate how much more liberal Garcia is than Adams. I took a quiz, though, and she was much closer to my answers. Still, maybe he will be a sort of "Biden" type. And, the comptroller and City Council will be more progressive. I'm still not very excited for the November race.
