Bill de Blasio Projected as Next NYC Mayor

Former Public Advocate is new Mayor-elect.

It doesn't come as much of a surprise, but after polls closed in New York City, early exit polls project an easy win for democrat Bill de Blasio in the Mayoral race.

The former Public Advocate for Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Borough Park, Cobble Hill, Gowanus, Kensington and Windsor Terrace becomes the Mayor-elect for NYC.

Republican opponent Joe Lhota has yet to concede, but victory has been declared at the de Blasio party at the Park Slope Armory.

Stay tuned for updates as official results roll in.
