Zohran Mamdani’s seismic victory in the 2025 mayoral election dominated the headlines on election night, but there were plenty of other key races across the city and the borough of Queens down for decision on Tuesday night.
Mamdani, a Queens lawmaker who rose from a relative unknown in Astoria’s Assembly District 36, will become the first-ever mayor to have represented Queens in elected office after winning Tuesday’s general election by a margin of 181,056 votes with 97.98% of scanners reported, according to unofficial results from the Board of Elections.
