With incumbent Mark Levine pursuing a city comptroller position instead of re-election, three Democrats are contesting the Manhattan Borough President role in the June 24 primary. Candidates include City Council Member Keith Powers, State Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal, and newcomer Dr. Calvin Sun. Powers and Hoylman-Sigal lead in fundraising and endorsements, although all remain competitive. The borough president's responsibilities, while largely ceremonial, involve discretionary funding and influence over land use, making this a vital position for local advocacy within city government.
City Council Member Keith Powers is a lifelong Manhattan resident... Now term-limited from running for re-election, Powers is seeking to bring his legislative experience to Borough Hall.
The borough president's role is largely ceremonial, but it comes with some discretionary funding and advisory power over land use decisions.
