Background

Bill de Blasio was elected mayor of New York City in 2013, with his term beginning January 1, 2014. De Blasio declared his intention to seek reelection in April 2015.^[1]

The following candidates filed petitions to have their names on the ballot during the primary elections: Democrats Bill De Blasio, Sal Albanese, Robert Gangi, Richard Bashner and Michael Tolkin, and Republicans Nicole Malliotakis, Rocky De La Fuente and Walter Iwachiw.^[2][3]

On May 9, 2017, the Libertarian Party nominated Aaron Commey.^[4] It was Commey's first run for political office.^[4] On August 1, 2017, the City Board of Elections determined in a hearing that Rocky De La Fuente had not received enough petition signatures to qualify for the Republican primary ballot.^[5] With De La Fuente's disqualification and the remaining Republican candidate, Walter Iwachiw, not reporting any fundraising for this election,^[6][7] Nicole Malliotakis was the only remaining candidate for the Republican nomination.

There were two Democratic primary debates, on August 23 and September 6. The candidates were incumbent mayor Bill De Blasio and former City Council member Sal Albanese.^[8][9] De Blasio won the primary.

The first general election debate was held on October 10, with De Blasio, Republican challenger Nicole Malliotakis, and independent candidate Bo Dietl.^[10] The second was held on November 1.^[11]
