Eric Adams is elected mayor of New York

Democrat Eric Adams was elected mayor of New York after handily defeating Republican Curtis Sliwa.



Eric Adams is a former New York City Police Captain.

He will become the second black mayor in the history of the city and will have to lead the metropolis which is trying to recover from the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.

Eric Adams’ victory on Tuesday seemed almost assured after he emerged victorious in a multi-candidate Democratic primary this summer in a city where Democrats outnumber Republicans seven times.

Curtis Sliwa is the founder of the Guardian Angels Anti-Crime Patrol.
