What to Know About the 2025 Elections in New York City
Local leadership is on the ballot in 2025, from City Hall down to your neighborhood Councilmember. And it’s set to be a doozy, even by the raucous standards of New York politics.
Mayor Eric Adams is seeking reelection while under indictment on federal corruption charges, with a trial set to begin just eight weeks before Primary Day.
Meanwhile, a crowd of at least six fellow Democrats have swung into gear to challenge him, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to do so as of early 2025.
They’ll have their work cut out if they win the top municipal job in New York City. Whoever the next mayor is will have to contend with President Donald Trump, who has often been openly hostile to the city’s needs, and whose policies on immigration, taxes, climate and more will have huge consequences on the city’s people.
