A Queens Mayor – One Way or Another

Since Queens became a part of New York City in 1898, none of the 23 men who served as the city’s mayor were born in Queens or represented the borough in political office.

If either Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani or former Governor Andrew Cuomo is elected mayor, it will mean a lot for the borough of Queens.

Many mayors have connections to Queens, including current Mayor Eric Adams and Mayor Abe Beame, who served in the mid-1970s and lived in Queens.

None were born in the borough, like former Governor Andrew Cuomo. And none have ever represented it in office, like Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani.

Autor's resume: Queens may get its first mayor.
