A graphic showing a screenshot of the New York City Board of Elections unofficial election night results page for November 4, 2025. On the left is a list of election contests including Mayor, Public Advocate, City Comptroller, District Attorney, Borough President, and several ballot proposals. On the right is a circular “I Voted” sticker with a skyline silhouette. Text reads: “See results from the Board of Elections @ enr.boenyc.gov.” The graphic is framed in red, white, and blue.

🎉 Congrats to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on being elected Mayor, and to @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social, @shahanafrombk.bsky.social, @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social, and @jumaane.bsky.social on re-election.

And congrats to @aschierenbeck.bsky.social and the CRC team on Questions 2 to 5 passing.

Lots of focus on Lina Khan (because yay!) but the real exciting thing is that Maria Torres-Springer is on the team. Nobody knows city government better.

I'm very happy that this statement is true for me and Cuomo.

Not mayor, just Italian. 🤌 🇮🇹

Let’s goooooo @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social !!!!

Graphic reading Zohran Voted Yes on Props 2,3,4, & 5! Vote by 9pm! Paid for by Yes on Affordable Housing disclosure.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has already proven that nothing changes unless we change it.

Today, by joining Zohran and voting YES on Proposals 2 through 5, New Yorkers are wielding the power of our votes to change the course of our city’s future. @opennewyork.org

Why I believe you should vote yes on questions 2 through 5 and help make Mamdani’s plans to build hundreds of thousands of units of affordable housing a reality.

New short two-way protected bike lane connector on Union Street in Gowanus. Thanks @nyc-dot.bsky.social! Another project supported by @bkcb6.bsky.social. Glad to see the network taking shape in this part of the neighborhood.

Graphic with dark blue background and orange and white text that reads: “Sunday, November 2, 2025. TODAY is the LAST day to VOTE EARLY! POLLS are OPEN from 9AM until 5PM.” Below, white text lists: “Vote for Mayor, Comptroller, District Attorney, Public Advocate, Borough President, City Council, Charter Changes.” Bottom line reads: “Find out where to vote @ findmypollsite.vote.nyc.” On the left is a red circular sticker graphic with a blue Brooklyn Bridge illustration and text that says “Brooklyn VOTES EARLY.” The Brooklyn Community Board 6 logo appears in the top right corner.

Now that we’ve got an extra hour, the question becomes: what will we do with it? Vote! 🗳️

Today, Sun, Nov 2, is the last day of early voting. Polls are open 9 AM –5 PM. It won’t take the whole extra hour, and you get a sticker.

Not sure where to vote? findmypollsite.vote.nyc

While less spooky today, you can still vote early until 5PM today, Saturday, November 1st, and tomorrow, Sunday , November 2nd, from 9am until 5pm. findmypollsite.vote.nyc

If Brad runs for Congress, do that mean we get a 1st Deputy Mayor Stavros in a @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social administration?

As @aspishakthomas.com said, take our survey! bit.ly/CB6SurvFY27

Mike has been a steady and principled voice for safe, sustainable streets in BKCB6. He knows that prioritizing walking, biking, and transit makes sense in a district + city where most people don’t drive.

Grateful to be mentioned by Doug alongside leaders of the safe streets movement.

& I’ve also requested a copy for the Carroll Gardens Pop Up library at 250 Baltic.

And a big thanks to @kathyparkprice.bsky.social for letting me know. Otherwise, I’d have had to read all the way to page 239 until I found out about the acknowledgment!

A hand holds the book Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile by Sarah Goodyear, Doug Gordon, and Aaron Naparstek. Next to the yellow and white cover is an open page of acknowledgments showing a list of names.

Thank you @brooklynspoke.bsky.social for acknowledging me in Life After Cars!

Great move by @shahanafrombk.bsky.social in appointing Doug to CB6 in 2023 & @ericmcclure.bsky.social becoming CB6 Chair, so I can tell people that @thewaroncars.bsky.social is the @bkcb6.bsky.social transportation chair!

Thank you @streetspac.org!

I’ve been informed this is a reskeet

So thank you @aspishakthomas.com and take our survey!

Every year community boards across New York City submit a "District Needs Statement", identifying their district's priorities with the hopes of influencing the city budget. @racioppomike.bsky.social writes about the process and highlights our call on @bkcb6.bsky.social for community input.

"Housing is the most-pressing crisis facing New York City. The plan delivers up to 6,000 new homes, with 2,650 permanently below market rate at deep affordability levels, including 250 units reserved for NYCHA residents from the surrounding neighborhoods."

I’m in @nyc.streetsblog.org this morning with an op-Ed on my ‘Yes’ on the Brooklyn Marine Terminal Vision Plan. bit.ly/streetsblogmikerac930

Opinion: How And Why I Voted Yes on the Brooklyn Marine Terminal Plan - City Limits "The Vision Plan is not perfect, but it is clear and concise. It is a 15-year, three-phase framework that sets enforceable commitments around housing, climate resilience, transportation, and social se...

The Brooklyn Marine Terminal Vision Plan is a big win that will increase housing supply, open space, & public transit. Great op-ed by @racioppomike.bsky.social about how this came to be, & we’re excited to see & support more of these kinds of plans going forward!

A strong CB contingent out for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social !

Celebrated #CityOfWaterDay w/ the Gowanus Canal Conservancy at Thomas Greene Park! Huge credit & thanks to @bkcb6.bsky.social members Aurelia Casey & Joe Anne Brown for making it happen.

It all reinforces why a Gowanus BID will benefit Gowanus’s future.

Come by 250 Baltic and take out a book like @aspishakthomas.com did today!

We did it, it's open! I both checked out and returned books today at the new Carroll Gardens popup library. In just 3 months, so many people came together to make this dream a reality and it's a beautiful thing, we've never been more back 🥹

A former member of @bkcb6.bsky.social , @bradlander.bsky.social , says it best.

Join me, let’s win this thing!

Deeply honored to have the two best mayoral candidates riding together on the Eric McClure Bikeway on Prospect Park West!
