Brad Lander Wins City Council Seat in the 39th

After a seemingly endless election season, the race for City Council in the 39th is finally over.

Brad Lander was the winner last night in the race to replace Bill DeBlasio, who was elected Public Advocate.

Lander claimed 70% of the vote. His Republican opponent Joe Nardiello got 16.6% while Green Party candidate David Pechefsky’s got 7%.

The Democratic primary was an intense 5-way race between Lander, Josh Skaller, Bob Zuckerman, Gary Reilly, and John Heyer.

Say hello to Brad: your new City Council member for the 39th!
