State Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal has claimed victory in the Democratic primary for Manhattan borough president, positioning him to potentially be the first openly gay individual elected to a boroughwide role in New York City. His extensive experience in the New York State Senate has been marked by significant legislative achievements, including championing LGBTQ+ rights and tenant protections. Supporters have highlighted his proactive approach and effectiveness as a leader, particularly in response to policies perceived to harm New York City. Hoylman-Sigal expressed confidence that he could successfully transition to city government.
"We made history, said John Wahlmeier, a Hoylman-Sigal supporter, but we made it with somebody who's proactive and absolutely wonderful."
"I think I could be as effective in Albany as I was at the city level," said Hoylman-Sigal, reflecting on his decision to pivot to city government.
