Hey, Bill De Blasio won. He takes office on Jan. 1 as the 109th NYC mayor.

Also elected: Letitia James for public advocate and Scott Stringer as comptroller. Rosie Mendez too.

Thank you all for your support! Excited to serve District 2 for four more years!

And, likely unrelated to Election Night, the Knicks lost.

Anyway, I just really wanted to post the above photo from Grant.
