NEW YORK—New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg won his third term on Tuesday, after outspending Comptroller Bill Thompson by a factor of approximately 16 and after pushing to have the law changed to allow for the third term last year. In his political rhetoric, the billionaire Bloomberg has painted his economic prowess, cultivated on Wall Street, as exactly what New York needs to weather the world’s financial storm.
“Now, we’ve already made a lot of progress together,” said Bloomberg in his published speech outlining his vision for New York in 2013.
“We’ve dramatically cut crime, turned around a broken school system, banned smoking in the workplace, created 311, and added new parkland. I could go on, but as you know, New Yorkers don’t like to boast.”
His plan includes continuing to reduce crime in New York City and increasing the amount of parkland and trees.
“I’ve never been one for small ideas, I’ve never shied away from the toughest challenges and I’ve always insisted on being held accountable for my campaign promises,” he said.
In landslide votes, Bill de Blasio won the public advocate seat and John Liu won the seat of comptroller.
For district attorney, Cyrus Vance Jr. won the seat in Manhattan, and Charles Hynes (the only candidate) won in Brooklyn
For borough president, all the incumbent candidates won, with Scott Stringer in Manhattan, Marty Markowitz in Brooklyn, Helen Marshall in Queens, Ruben Diaz Jr. in the Bronx, and James Molinaro in Staten Island.
Polling stations on Nov. 3, the day of the general elections, were still slow—much like the preliminary elections.
