Outgoing Council Member Keith Powers files to run for Manhattan borough president next year

Outgoing City Council Member Keith Powers is launching a run for Manhattan Borough President in the 2025 Democratic primary following reports that current beep Mark Levine filed a bid for city comptroller last week, he confirmed Monday.

Both Powers and Levine were able to file for their respective runs after current city Comptroller Brad Lander officially announced a challenge against Mayor Eric Adams late last month.
