'While the votes didn't fall the way we hoped, I'm damn proud of what we built together,' Branna said in a statement. 'I called to congratulate Borough President Mark Levine on his win and I wish him the best as he takes on this extremely important role at this critical time.'
Levine has been vocal about the need for a rent freeze this year, acknowledging that both tenants and landlords are struggling in New York City.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Brannan campaigned on his commitment to a universal child care system and creating affordable housing options for New York City employees.
Tuesday's tallies only included first-choice votes. The Board of Elections will release the final tally based on ranked-choice voting by next week. The winner will move on to the 2025 New York City comptroller election on Nov. 4 to become the city's chief financial officer.

KBR secures NASA contract worth up to $3.6 billion for astronaut health support
(Reuters) -Engineering contractor KBR said on Wednesday it had secured a $2.46 billion contract from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to support astronaut and worker health and safety during space missions.

Most work will be conducted at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. The total estimated value, including the extensions, is $3.6 billion, the company said. The deal extends KBR's partnership with the space agency and underscores its role in spaceflight operations. KBR will provide services such as monitoring crew health, occupational health support and researching risk reduction strategies for astronauts, including those involved in the Artemis program aimed at future Moon missions.

Cisco's CEO Sees 'Massive Opportunity' as AI Infrastructure Orders Grow
Cisco (CSCO) reported fiscal fourth-quarter earnings that narrowly topped analysts' expectations. Its CEO suggested bigger gains could be ahead as the company looks to capitalize on growing AI demand. The networking giant posted adjusted earnings per share of 99 cents on revenue that jumped 8% year-over-year to $14.7 billion, just slightly above analysts' estimates compiled by Visible Alpha. Sales from Cisco's security and observability segments missed projections. However, strong growth in AI infrastructure orders helped push Cisco's annual total over $2 billion, more than double the company's $1 billion target. CEO Chuck Robbins said the results underlined a "massive opportunity ahead as we lead the required architectural shift and build the critical infrastructure needed for the AI era." Cisco projected first-quarter revenue of $14.65 billion to $14.85 billion and adjusted earnings per share of 97 cents to 99 cents. Analysts were looking for $14.63 billion and EPS of 97 cents, respectively. Shares of Cisco fell 2% in after-hours trading following the results. The stock has added nearly a fifth of its value in 2025 through Wednesday's close.
