Election Results 2009 NYC, Queens
Updated: 11:20 p.m.
The race for mayor has been declared in Bloomberg's favor, but wait! The results are much, much closer than predicted. For outspending Thompson by millions and millions....such a close election must be a bitter pill for Bloomberg. He can take a third term, but can't claim a mantle of unsurpassed support.
John Liu has locked up the post of Comptroller. Congrats to Liu!
In City Council elections, it's a huge night for Republicans in Queens. The GOP in Queens is back. The GOP held its lone seat (Rockaways) and appears to have picked up 2 more - Flushing and College Point/Bayside.
Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, you should see this as positive for the borough -- at least in my opinion. If local politics are dominated by one party, then local politicians are not challenged and slack in their service to us. Competition -- political or otherwise -- is healthy.
- Halloran, Republican defeats Kevin Kim and wins District 19, taking seat vacated by Avella.
- Republican Peter A. Koo defeats Yen S. Chou for City Council District 20. Koo takes the seat vacated by Liu.
- Ferrerras, incumbent, wins District 21
- Vallone, incumbent, wins District 22
- Weprin, newbie (brother of former), wins District 23
- Gennaro, incumbent, wins District 24
- Dromm, newbie, wins District 25
- Van Bramer, newbie, wins District 26
- Leroy Comrie, Jr., incumbent, wins District 27
- Thomas White, Jr., incumbent, wins District 28
- Koslowitz, newbie, wins District 29
- Crowley, incumbent, wins District 30
- Sanders, incumbent, wins District 31
- Ulrich, Republican incumbent, wins District 32

Who the hell is Scott Liu?
possible he’s the guy supports anti-racism.
Correction – An earlier version of this post incorrectly named “Scott Liu” as Comptroller-elect. Of course, the correct name is John Liu.
i agree different parties put pressure on the other..makes things better for us residents.
Hi John – thanks so much for posting the election results so quickly. Love your site.
Thank you for posting the results! TV news didn’t announce the Queens local ones.
John:
Nice work. Short, sweet and it picked up the real story ie the election of this number of Republicans. Did’t see this in MSM
