Justin Brannan Concedes N.Y.C. Comptroller Primary to Mark Levine
Mark Levine, the Manhattan borough president, appeared poised to win the Democratic primary for New York City comptroller after his main opponent, Justin Brannan, a Brooklyn city councilman, conceded the race late Tuesday. Mr. Brannan said in a statement that he had called Mr. Levine to congratulate him and to 'wish him the best as he takes on this extremely important role at this critical time.' With 92 percent of ballots counted, Mr. Levine was ahead by 14 points — near but not above the 50 percent threshold. The Associated Press had not yet called the race, which appears set to be officially decided after ranked-choice votes are tabulated next Tuesday. Mr. Levine told his supporters he would serve as a bulwark against the actions of President Trump's administration. 'To every single one of you who hit the phones, hit the streets, and hit the tweets, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU,' Mr. Levine wrote in a social media post. Six candidates ran in Tuesday's primary, but Mr. Levine and Mr. Brannan were the only two to qualify for public financing. Mr. Levine, 56, raised more money in recent months, led in the little public polling available and consolidated much of the institutional support among unions and elected officials.
