Today’s Headlines

I happen to like Mondays, Sir Bob Geldof. Why? Because there's so much news to recap:

Obviously the election will dominate the coverage today, with plenty of Friday-morning quarterbacking (NYT, NY Post, WSJ, amNY, Variety). But Streetsblog's outgoing legend Ben Fried gave readers the most important take on how this election was a referendum to throw the bums out. R.I.P. I.D.C. In the big race, the Daily News wood ("Status Cuo-mo") was the best (though I don't love the hyphen).

Today is Election Day. Vote. Please. You know how bad it is out there — delays underground, streets congested, buses stuck and Citi Bike stalled — so get out there and fill the bubble for candidates who will do something. Who, precisely? To make an educated decision, review candidates' answers to our campaign questions here and decide for yourself (or if you want a handy cheat sheet, StreetsPAC did these endorsements). Polls are open from 6 a.m.-9 p.m. Click here to find your polling place.

Bring an umbrella.

Today is September 11.

Happy New Year to all our Jewish readers...and writers. Forgive us if we had a little too much apples and honey last night, but we promise we'll be back up to speed before Shmini Atzeret. In the meantime, why not take a moment to review our Election 2018 coverage? After all, the primaries are on Thursday!

Our two weeks of daily political coverage ends today with a showdown for Manhattan Senate District 31 featuring former City Council Member Robert Jackson vs. first-term incumbent Marisol Alcantara. Our prior nine debates are archived here,

We're still full speed ahead on our primary election coverage. Today, we look at Assembly District 46, which has an open seat because of the indictment of Pamela Harris. So click to read our showdown between Mathylde Frontus and Ethan Lustig-Elgrably. And all our prior coverage is archived here.

Today we shift our Election 2018 coverage from the State Senate to two hot Assembly primaries, beginning with the 39th Assembly District in Central Queens, which pits Catalina Cruz against sort-of incumbent Ari Espinal. Our prior coverage remains archived here.
