NEW YORK CITY—Ten people are running for the Democratic nomination this year. Candidates will soon start campaigning more fiercely, as the June 24 primary elections approaches.

The candidates will be challenging incumbent mayor Eric Adams for the Democratic nomination, who won by a slim margin in the 2021 primary against Kathryn Garcia. Against Republican challenger Curtis Sliwa, he won 67 percent to Sliwa’s 27 percent.
