The 2001New York City mayoral election was held on November 6, 2001.

IncumbentRepublicanmayorRudy Giuliani could not run again due to term limits. As Democrats outnumbered Republicans by a five-to-one margin in the city, it was widely believed that a Democrat would succeed him in City Hall. BusinessmanMichael Bloomberg, a lifelong Democrat, changed his party affiliation to run as a Republican.Mark Green narrowly defeatedFernando Ferrer in the Democratic primary,[nb 1] surviving a contest that divided the party and consumed the vast majority of the Green campaign's financial resources.

After a campaign largely overshadowed by the9/11 terrorist attacks, Bloomberg won the general election with 50.3% of the vote to Green's 47.9%. Democrats flipped the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn from the previous election.

Background

[edit]

The primaries were scheduled on September 11, but theSeptember 11 attacks caused them to be postponed to September 25 (votes cast on September 11 were not counted), and the runoff was on October 11.[1][2][3]

Late in the primary, Green was roundly criticized for the actions of supporters that were construed as racist, involving literature withNew York Post caricatures of Ferrer andAl Sharpton distributed in white enclaves ofBrooklyn andStaten Island. Green said he had nothing to do with the dissemination of the literature. An investigation by the Brooklyn District Attorney concluded that "Mark Green had no knowledge of these events, and that when he learned of them, he repeatedly denounced the distribution of this literature and sought to find out who had engaged in it".[4] Nevertheless, the incident is thought to have diminished minority turnout in the general election and helped Bloomberg win in an overwhelmingly Democratic city. (Village Voice columnist Peter Noel wrote that "Mark Green ... may have replaced [Giuliani] as the most hated white man in the African American community",[5] an ironic twist for someone who had been so popular in that community for so long.)

Green made a controversial decision during the primary runoff to support Giuliani's unprecedented attempt to extend his own mayoral term in the name of the emergency of 9/11. Ferrer opposed Giuliani's ultimately unsuccessful attempt at term extension, and was able to accuse Green of being rolled over by Giuliani.[citation needed]

Campaign

[edit]

Rudy Giuliani, who was riding high approval ratings following the 9/11 attacks, publicly endorsed Bloomberg.[6]

Unlike his cash-poor Democratic rival, who had just emerged from an expensive primary and expected to rely on traditionally reliable free media coverage that never materialized, Bloomberg continued to spend $74 million on TV ads and direct mail in the weeks after the attacks, a record amount at the time for a non-presidential election (Bloomberg broke this record in 2005).[7][8]The Economist wrote: "The billionaire businessman [Bloomberg] is usually seen as one of the post-September 11th winners (if such a word can be so used): He would probably have lost the mayoralty to Mark Green, a leftish Democrat, had the terrorist strike not happened. Yet, it is also worth noting that his election probably spared New York City a turbulent period of score-settling over Rudy Giuliani's legacy."[9]

Green posed on the steps of City Hall withHasidic Jewish leaders, and issued a statement saying that "leaders from theSatmar congregations of New York City, the largest of the three major Hasidic groups in the city with some 100,000 followers" supported his campaign. But many of the Satmars at thatphoto op led an upstate Satmar community ineligible to vote in New York City and were also "at odds with the Satmar establishment" based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, whose leaders were in Europe at the time and unaware that Green had claimed their endorsement.[10]

The election was also notable for two non-politician semi-celebrities running on third-party tickets:Bernhard Goetz, who had achieved fame in 1984 as the "subway vigilante" for shooting four young men who tried to rob him, on theFusion Party ticket; andKenny Kramer, the inspiration for the characterCosmo Kramer on the TV showSeinfeld, on theLibertarian Party ticket.
