2017 New York City Mayoral Election: Who's the Boss?

New York City is a place with tall buildings that touch the clouds and busy streets filled with yellow taxis! It's like a giant playground with millions of people living and working there. This election was all about who would be in charge of making sure everything runs smoothly in this amazing city.

On November 7, 2017, grown-ups in New York City got to vote for who they wanted to be their mayor. Think of it like picking the captain of your school team! The person who gets the most votes becomes the leader for the next four years.

The person who won the election was Bill de Blasio. He was already the mayor and people liked him so much that they voted for him to stay for another four years! He got a lot of votes, more than half of all the votes cast. That's like winning a game by a landslide!

There was another person running for mayor named Nicole Malliotakis. She wanted to be the leader too, but Bill de Blasio got more votes. It's like in a race where one person crosses the finish line first. This election helped decide the future of a very special city.
