District attorney elections |
The 2005New York City mayoral election occurred on November 8, 2005. IncumbentRepublicanmayorMichael Bloomberg soundly defeated formerBronxborough presidentFernando Ferrer, theDemocratic nominee. Several third-party candidates also ran for mayor. In July, mayoral candidates filed nominating petitions with the City Board of Elections.
Bloomberg won four of the five boroughs, the exception being the Bronx. He flipped the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. To date, this is the last time a Republican was elected mayor of New York City, and the last time a Republican line carried Brooklyn. Bloomberg left the Republican Party in 2007 to register as an independent, but the Republican Party nominated him for reelection in 2009.
Tom Ognibene ran on a platform supporting tax cuts, education reform and opposed Mayor Bloomberg'ssmoking ban. He was expected to win the endorsement of theConservative Party.[1] He received 8,100 signatures, 600 more than the necessary 7,500 signatures to appear on the primary ballot. But the Bloomberg campaign challenged many signatures, leaving Ognibene with 5,848 eligible signatures and forcing him off the ballot. On August 25, a federal judge refused to allow Ognibene on the Republican ballot.
The first television ads were launched in English and Spanish by the Bloomberg campaign on May 18.
Ognibene was endorsed by the leaders of the Queens County Republican Committee on February 10.[2]

The Democratic primary was held on September 13, with initial returns showing Ferrer receiving 39.95% of the votes, just short of the 40% needed to avoid a runoff with Weiner. Despite at first seeming poised to continue, the next morning Weiner conceded the election to Ferrer. But the city election board insisted on proceeding with a $12 million election scheduled for September 27, with an additional debate even planned. This prompted a lawsuit supported by both candidates to prevent the runoff, which was avoided when the final count gave Ferrer just over 40% of the vote.
Despite his removal from the Republican primary, Tom Ognibene ran as the Conservative Party nominee.
On May 28, theIndependence Party endorsed Bloomberg for reelection.

One prominent issue throughout 2005 wasNew York's bid for the2012 Olympic Games, as New York City was one of the finalists to serve as host city. On June 6, the plannedWest Side Stadium was defeated by the Public Authorities Control Board when Assembly SpeakerSheldon Silver and State Senate Majority LeaderJoseph Bruno refused to vote for it. As a result, Bloomberg had supported the new Mets ballpark, laterCiti Field, as the centerpiece of the revised bid. On July 6, theIOC awardedLondon the 2012 Summer Olympics.
On October 23, Ferrer proposed Home Owner Property Exemption, or HOPE, a tax break for homeowners with a home property value of less than $100,000.[24]

At 10:30 p.m. on November 8, Ferrer conceded to Bloomberg in a speech at theWaldorf-Astoria hotel. Bloomberg was sworn in for a second term on January 1, 2006.
Bloomberg was endorsed by former mayorsRudy Giuliani andEd Koch,Jeanine Pirro,Herman Badillo, former congressmanFloyd Flake, ReverendCalvin Butts, and many prominent local Democrats.
On October 23, Bloomberg was endorsed by bothNewsday andThe New York Times in the general election, with theNew York Daily News following on the 31st.[25][26]The Times wrote that Bloomberg could be "one of the greatest mayors in New York history" but criticized "his 'obscene' unlimited spending on his political campaigns", creating an "uneven playing field".[27]
