NYC Council

The New York City Council is basically the city’s Congress. It makes law, budgets, and acts as a counterbalance to the mayor. It also helps New Yorkers find solutions to problems. They work for us. Make them work!

The NYC Council is led by a Speaker, Majority Leader and Minority Leader.

There are 35 committees that oversee different parts of the city government. City Council members join caucuses devoted to legislation on important topics. The Black, Latino and Asian Caucus is relevant.

NYC Council Members

NYC Council members are generally elected to four-year terms and term-limited after two consecutive terms.

Every twenty years, two-year terms enable changes related to the U.S. Census. The 2021 and 2023 elections are two-year term elections.

NYC Council Districts

The NYC Council has 51 districts in all five boroughs (counties).
