EDITOR’S NOTE

JON LENTZ Editor-in-chief

Whenever we publish our annual New York City Power 100, readers quickly flip to the back pages or click through online to see who landed at the top. The 2018 ranking, which reflects where the members of the city’s political class stand in relation to each other, isn’t the whole story, however. What’s equally illuminating is the ebb and flow of power among the city’s political players. When we rolled out our first list in December 2012, for example, Mayor Michael Bloomberg was No. 1, followed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and City Council Speaker Christine Quinn. Of the initial top 10, only Cuomo, Quinn, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer and Bloomberg – now down at No. 61 – remain. Of course, a list like this, which is more art than science, invariably draws criticism – especially from those whose power, in our view, has waned. Indeed, many readers take the list seriously. So do we, and we put in the time and effort to accurately reflect the political reality. But as our “Ghostbusters”-themed cover suggests, it’s also meant to entertain. As you read through the list, we hope you learn something – and have fun with it, too.

STRONGER TOGETHER Gov. Andrew Cuomo joined the governors of New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island to create a multistate coalition to share information about firearms in an effort to curb gun violence. The “States for Gun Safety” coalition aims to stop the influx of out-of-state guns as well as address the so-called “gun show loophole.” During a Thursday conference call, Cuomo said the coalition is meant to fill “a void in leadership from the federal government,” adding that he hoped the federal government would take action in the wake of the deadly school shooting in Florida, but that he and the other governors were “not going to hold our breath.”

PERCOCO TRIAL EXTENDED Todd Howe, the prosecution’s key witness in the Percoco corruption trial, may be done testifying, but the trial is far from over. In fact, the judge told jurors that it will likely extend into the week of March 5. The trial began on Jan. 23 and the defense has bemoaned slow proceedings from the get-go. The prosecution rested its case on Thursday, which may also end the many references to “The Sopranos” that Percoco’s lawyers want to stop.

C&S: You instituted the global spending cap on Medicaid, which is still in place. Do you think that continues to be helpful seven years after it was implemented?

the global cap has been a boon for taxpayers. I think it’s been a boon for the program overall. C&S: Are you concerned about changes from the Trump administration to health care spending affecting your legacy? JH: The governor’s been extremely vocal in this regard, that the federal government has blatant disregard for programs like Medicaid and its essential role in ensuring health care access for millions of people, including millions of New Yorkers. Obviously, we all have to stay vigilant, and stay active, and stay focused on raising our voices when the program is at threat. But I take some solace in the fact that despite a huge amount of effort by Republicans in Washington, the program is still standing, the Affordable Care Act is still standing. I think it shows that there is a real constituency for these programs.

Cuomo doesn’t necessarily need redemption but an endorsement from 1199SEIU, the state’s largest union, was still welcome news, if expected. The governor has had some bad press recently thanks to the corruption trial of his former aide Joe Percoco. Cuomo isn’t charged in the case or accused of wrongdoing, but that hasn’t stopped Republicans from questioning his ethics.

THE BEST POLITICAL FILMS SET IN NEW YORK New York has long been the backdrop of classic movies, including dramas, action adventures and romantic comedies. With the Academy Awards coming up, we compiled a list of the best films about politics in New York. Based on user scores on IMDb, the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, ranking on the American Film Institute’s updated “100 Years … 100 Movies” list – and our own subjective opinions – here is our list of the top political films set in New York.

WHY IT’S ON THE LIST: Frank Serpico, the titular protagonist, was a real-life police officer, and the movie features the real corruption that plagued the NYPD in the 1960s as well Serpico’s efforts to expose it.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: A mentally unstable Vietnam War veteran with insomnia drives a taxi at night while becoming increasingly detached from reality and growing more disgusted by New York City’s filth. WHY IT’S ON THE LIST: One of the key themes of the movie revolves around the inaction of politicians to make substantial change, a realization that leads the protagonist Travis Bickle to attempt the assassination of a U.S. senator who’s running for president.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: A journalist tries to ascertain the meaning of newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane’s dying word through an examination of Kane’s rise to power, influence and eventual fall from grace. WHY IT’S ON THE LIST: Kane attempts to wield the power he accumulated in the media to make the jump into politics, before an extramarital affair kills his chances. More broadly, the film demonstrates the power of mass media to manipulate public opinion and politics.

DO THE RIGHT THING (1989)

Amazon and other tech companies want a subway that runs on time.

JOE TABACCA/SHUTTERSTOCK

City & State New York

February 26, 2018

THERE HAS BEEN no lack of New York transit news so far this year. Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed a new subway connecting lower Manhattan to Red Hook and the Fix New York City panel’s long-awaited report came out, including its congestion pricing proposal. Andy Byford, who reformed transit in Toronto, recently became president of New York City Transit. Meanwhile, the daily stories of the system’s dysfunction – of subway service disruptions and buses moving slower than pedestrians – continue unabated. But there was also a transit story many people failed to recognize as one: Amazon announced that New York City is one of the finalists to host the company’s second headquarters. Amazon is a unique corporate behemoth, but its HQ2 decision-making process provides a clearer sense of what many companies, especially those competing for tech workers, consider when they decide where to build and grow. Along with a concentration of tech talent, proximity to institutions of higher education and potential tax incentives, Amazon made it clear that “direct access” to a robust transit network is a core criterion for its HQ2 location. Transportation matters to Amazon and other companies because it matters to employees. No one wants a difficult commute. When transportation fails, productivity and efficiency suffer, inevitably slowing down business. Last year, the New York City Comptroller’s office found that 74 percent of surveyed riders had been late to a work meeting because of subway delays. The city’s Independent Budget Office estimated the annual economic cost of subway delays is about $307 million. It’s time for our policymakers to recognize and address our transit crisis as an economic crisis too: It’s a critical threat to New York’s long-term workforce development. Ending this crisis requires a firm and extensive commitment to investing in our transit infrastructure. If New York wants to win the competition for Amazon and, perhaps more importantly, the startup that becomes the next Amazon, properly implemented congestion pricing offers the best available option to provide a steady revenue stream for improving our mass transit system. New York City faces fierce competition for technology talent – in both tech companies based here and in the major companies from all sectors that rely on complex technology to do their work. Our extensive public transit system, when properly functioning, helps set New York apart from other North American cities and tech hubs.

When it’s not working, it impacts productivity and makes it harder for companies to recruit. The region’s subways, buses and commuter rail lines should represent the pinnacle of American urban transit. New York’s subways carry about 5.7 million riders daily, accounting for 70 percent of American daily rail rides. Extensive and regular trains and buses enable a U.S.-leading 56 percent of households in our city to be car-free. Even as the delays pile up, New York’s transit access remains extraordinary: 97 percent of New Yorkers live within a quarter-mile of a bus or train. And at rush hour, the trains and dedicated bus lanes are still typically faster than driving on congested streets. New York workers already have the longest average commute times among the country’s 14 largest metro areas, according to the Citizens Budget Commission. But the system’s 24-hour, daily convenience and wide reach still attracts people. In the Bay Area, where BART reaches only a slice of San Francisco’s and Oakland’s residents, public transit carries only 16 percent of the region’s workers.

These apparent advantages obscure the grinding reality of decades of neglect and disrepair that New Yorkers currently experience every time they swipe their MetroCard. Only 65 percent of our weekday subways arrive on time – the worst rate of any major transit system. New York companies can’t schedule morning meetings and count on employees being there. Everyone acknowledges that the trains and buses need fixing. Congestion pricing offers one good way to work ourselves out of this mess. By charging vehicles entering Manhattan below 60th Street, congestion pricing could deliver around $1 billion of annual gross revenue. If every dollar is dedicated to transit improvements in the five boroughs, and the proposal is tied to sorely needed MTA reforms, then we could get the subways and buses moving again. The governor’s budget proposal regrettably lacks a congestion pricing proposal, suggesting it won’t advance this year. But our legislators can’t abandon it or other potential solutions to this emergency. New York’s transit crisis threatens the things we love about New York City the

IT’S TIME FOR OUR POLICYMAKERS TO RECOGNIZE OUR

TRANSIT CRISIS AS AN

ECONOMIC CRISIS TOO. Some tech companies have filled the gap by shuttling employees between their homes in San Francisco and workplaces in Silicon Valley on private buses. But that costly exercise only relieves the overburdened transit infrastructure of a small slice of fortunate workers – and it doesn’t take workers everywhere they might want to go in their free time. In the CBC’s 2016 talent recruitment report, New York ranks in the top three on quality of life and city amenities that make a location attractive to top talent – cultural institutions, food and nightlife – and thanks to our mass transit, those things are physically accessible.

most. If unfixed, it also promises to make recruiting successful companies or building them here even harder. New York’s political leaders must work together on both immediate upgrades and permanent expansions – not to mention a permanent source of additional funding. Fixing the transit system isn’t merely a matter of daily convenience, it’s essential to our region’s long-term capacity to thrive.

New Yo Power 10

CityAndStateNY.com

Everyone is talking politics these days, but what politics means depends on who’s doing the talking. According to one definition, politics is simply the art or science of government. It’s also the way in which people influence governmental policies. Taking it a step further, it’s the accumulation of control over government – or, to sum it up, power. With that final definition in mind, we take up our annual ranking of the most powerful people in New York City politics. It’s not an easy task, so we’ve established a few criteria to guide us. One is a political figure’s track record: What bills has a lawmaker passed? What policies have aides or advocates shaped? What programs have deputies run, and how effectively? Another criterion is the importance of any group that someone serves. The mayor of New York City has faced challenges in Albany, but he still runs a government serving more than 8 million people. Elected officials, commissioners, business executives, lobbyists, labor leaders and journalists all represent constituents, clients or customers – and with that responsibility comes some degree of power. Finally, we take into account proximity to power – New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s evolving inner circle, top appointees to both the mayor and the governor as well as key outside advisers who have the ear of a small handful of influential elected officials. As we applied these principles, we reached out to trusted sources, reviewed news developments and debated where each person ranks on this list. We present the 2018 New York City Power 100.

When you’re happier to report to jury duty than attend a New York City Council hearing, you know you messed up. The New York City Housing Authority has become a morass of mismanagement. Its boilers keep breaking down, leaving tenants without heat. Lead paint went undetected and Olatoye gave false testimony about the matter, and her underlings keep leaving while she stays in charge. Council members are openly wondering what it will take for the mayor to Shola her the door.

Lt. Gov. Jumaane Williams? Why not? Crazier things have happened in Albany (that explains our nostalgia for “linked to a prostitution ring”). Now that his speaker bid didn’t work out, the restless Flatbush councilman and outspoken advocate is preparing to attend rubber-chicken dinners across the state to argue he’s better at serving in a largely ceremonial role than Kathy Hochul. At the end of this escapade, he may come to realize the best chicken dinner was in Flatbush all along.

If you find yourself thinking twice about renting that cute Airbnb studio in the West Village next weekend, it’s because Jason Ortiz has guilted you out of it. The hotel workers union’s political director, who cut his teeth working for state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and at Metropolitan Public Strategies, is trying to pummel the short-term vacation rental website out of the city through regulation, organizing and a campaign tying Airbnb to gentrification and the city’s housing shortage.

Sex trafficking victims kept leaving a Westchester County rehab center, prompting rebukes and forcing Rivel to announce its closure this year.

Happy 100th birthday, Brooklyn Chamber! Hoan recently commemorated the business group’s centennial with a festive fête at the Brooklyn Marriott that rivaled an Upper East Side prep schooler’s bar mitzvah. Everybody showed up. In the next 100 years, the chamber hopes to spur investment into Broadway Junction, revitalize Coney Island, lure tech companies to Fort Hamilton and advocate for a three-borough subway line from Bay Ridge to Yankee Stadium. That’s a lot to Hoan in on.

Sid Davidoff must be proud of his mentee so easily winning a second term in New York City Hall last fall. The persuasive power broker who hired Manhattan Democratic boss Keith Wright for his lobbying firm last year is quick to offer counsel and defend the mayor’s reasoning on almost any topic. Maybe New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio can repay him by naming him the night mayor – an office he once occupied in John Lindsay’s City Hall 50 years ago.

The governor’s favorite crisis manager knows how to put out a lot of fires. Mike McKeon has been mopping up the mess of Competitive Power Ventures, whose payments to former Cuomo aide Joe Percoco landed its executive in federal court. And Mercury Public Affairs has managed to avoid business losses after being named as “Company A” in Paul Manafort’s indictment for its contract with a Ukrainian nonprofit. Despite that, Mercury said it had its best lobbying year ever last year.

Former New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn never tested the waters for another mayoral run to the disappointment of many Democrats (see Cuomo, Andrew) dissatisfied with City Hall’s current occupant. She is happy to step away from the political floodlights to run a shelter network serving women and families while nudging city leaders to provide permanent housing. She’ll take a larger role in helping candidates as vice chairwoman of the state Democratic Party. Besides, 2021 isn’t that far away.

Multiple individuals played a role in selecting Corey Johnson as speaker of the New York City Council, but one largely overlooked player who was always in the loop is Harry Giannoulis. Giannoulis operates behind the scenes, letting business partner Evan Stavisky serve as the public face of the firm. Parkside’s combination of lobbying and political consulting, its ties to the Queens Democratic Party and its connections in key sectors like real estate make Giannoulis an influential figure.

This past year, Eva Moskowitz found it’s hard to cross a river when she’s burnt so many bridges. She flirted with a mayoral run that went nowhere. She cozied up to U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and the president, but bolted after Donald Trump wouldn’t denounce white supremacists. She had to clean up after Success Academy Chairman Dan Loeb made racially insensitive remarks toward a Democratic lawmaker. At least her students keep outscoring their peers in math and reading.

Government watchdogs and progressive advocates fumed when Keith Wright took a lobbying job and retained his chairmanship of the Manhattan Democratic Party. They seethed again when Wright essentially steered a vacant state Senate seat to Brian Kavanagh.

Probably a little of both.

Phil Walzak

Few firms are as plugged into the political developments of the day as Greenberg Traurig. Edward Wallace has mostly stuck to real estate and higher education – he’s repped Columbia, NYU and Fordham’s expansion plans. Also, his firm has been the go-to landing spot for politicos looking for a second career in consulting, including Rudy Giuliani, Melinda Katz and Mark Weprin. Sometimes they even jump back into public service, such as interim U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman.

The state saw an increase in unionized workers last year, but the president of the New York City Central Labor Council isn’t resting on his laurels. Vincent Alvarez pledged solidarity with journalists and Broadway’s casting directors joining guilds, defeated the constitutional convention ballot initiative and backed construction workers hoping to get laws passed ensuring safer workplace conditions. You can bet he’s watching a Supreme Court case that could allow members to opt out of union dues.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s re-election bid may have been a slam dunk – or a base stolen with defensive indifference in baseball parlance – but Phil Walzak ran a well-oiled operation nonetheless. The campaign was one of the few things the mayor didn’t have to worry about last year, as he crushed his Republican opponent by margin of 2-to-1. Now Walzak and the mayor can cross a few more baseball stadiums off their list this summer.

This perspicacious editor who is also a native New Yorker oversees the most important metro section in the country.

James Merriman

New York City Councilman Ritchie Torres mounted a quixotic bid for the speakership but played his cards right and won perhaps the second-best outcome. Speaker Corey Johnson expanded the role of the Oversight and Investigation Committee just for him. Torres already reduced NYCHA officials to blubbering puddles at one of his first hearings where the council revealed 4 in 5 public housing residents lived without heat at some point since October. City Hall better start ordering Tylenol and Tums in bulk.

Stuart Appelbaum began 2017 fired up about taking on President Donald Trump, telling Deadspin he was optimistic that unions would meet the challenge. Indeed, union membership grew statewide last year and the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union added members from Guitar Center to the Pleasure Chest. However, it’s hard to organize workers when jobs are disappearing – New York’s retail sector lost 14,100 jobs in 2017, according to the state Department of Labor.

If you’re looking for drama in the charter school sector, look elsewhere. The easygoing CEO of the New York City Charter School Center keeps a lower profile than other charter leaders, but he has been largely effective at the uphill battle of getting Democratic lawmakers to allow more city charters and boost per pupil spending. With Families for Excellent Schools shuttering after allegations of “inappropriate behavior” by its former leader, Merriman will likely take a larger role promoting school choice.

Brooklyn has come a long way from the days of Democratic bosses who kept baseball bats under their desks. Four years ago, Frank Seddio played a key role in installing Melissa Mark-Viverito as council speaker. But nobody fears Seddio now, not after he wasn’t able to anoint a new speaker or claim either of the City Council’s powerful committees. While Brooklyn’s Democrats have long been a fragmented bunch, Seddio can always name some judicial candidates eager to genuflect to him.

Political Director, Communications Workers of America District 1 Can you hear me now? The Communications Workers of America District 1 political director helped torpedo the state’s constitutional convention. More importantly, he secured a four-year deal for wireless workers with AT&T after an 11-month contract dispute. Political leaders tripped over themselves to support these strikes on behalf of members of Master’s union, which will be key in the 2018 midterm elections. Master is also a leader in the Working Families Party, which could play a key role in some races.

New York City medallion owners are drowning in debt as drivers from ride‑hailing services saturate city streets. As spokesman for the Metropolitan Taxicab Board of Trade and a partner at Connelly McLaughlin & Woloz, he has the ear of the mayor and sympathetic City Council members. But that may not be enough now that the number of Uber rides surpassed taxi trips for the first time in July.

Timothy Dolan

Ron Moelis

Cardinal Timothy Dolan remains the most respected religious leader in the city. But life as a Catholic Church leader in the Trump era can be complicated. President Donald Trump’s embrace of anti-abortion activists has pleased Dolan, but the White House’s stance on undocumented immigrants and the president’s careless remarks about “s–tthole countries” has dismayed him. At least His Eminence isn’t getting attacked in Trump’s Twitter mentions like the Supreme Pontiff on the other side of the Atlantic.

The mayor’s favorite developer is reaping the benefits of an affordable housing boom. Ron Moelis’ L+M Development Partners is spanning the boroughs to build below-market units in concert with the city’s decadelong $41 billion housing plan and rezoning effort. His critics may call him the “Gentrification King,” but there are few other real estate magnates who will make as large a splash on the city’s landscape after Mayor Bill de Blasio’s two terms in office.

The governor’s counsel has emerged as a top surrogate, public relations representative and behind-the-scenes enforcer. And why not? With one of the most impressive personal stories in state politics – he’s openly gay and his family fled Liberia following a military coup in the 1980s – David is an asset to a sometimes adrift administration. Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s allies are already talking up David as the state’s next attorney general – and they’re not wrong.

Gregg Bishop has been one of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s steadiest commissioners. Business loan approval rates have hit new heights and unemployment has remained near historic lows. MWBE figures are improving. Meanwhile the city will offer free legal services to small business owners and is instituting commercial rent tax reform. But the retail industry’s downturn, Amazon’s explosive growth and rising commercial rents could give the de Blasio administration some headaches in the coming months.

Cyrus Vance Jr.

Carlo Scissura

Bill Thompson

The state’s most prominent district attorney had a rocky year. Manhattan’s Cyrus Vance Jr. stumbled through bombshells that he halted an investigation into Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump’s SoHo condo project and failed to charge Harvey Weinstein with sex crimes in 2015. He’s tried to save face by banning contributions from defense lawyers and refusing to prosecute fare evasion. He’s also continued to rake in money from asset forfeitures, allowing him to fund favored projects.

Every week is infrastructure week for Carlo Scissura. With President Donald Trump hyping federal investment in public works, Gov. Andrew Cuomo pushing for redevelopment at transit hubs and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio advancing an ambitious housing agenda, there’s no shortage of building opportunities in the region. Scissura, who took the helm at the New York Building Congress in 2016, also weighs in on issues like congestion pricing and authorizing design-build construction.

Old New York City mayoral hopefuls never die, they just take positions on state and city boards. The man who came a couple percentage points away from preventing Bloomberg’s third term is now serving as the CUNY board of trustees’ chairman. Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s ally must steer the university system, which is under intense scrutiny, to improve both its financial practices and educational outcomes. Thompson’s steady, involved leadership should help the higher education institution.

Michael Bloomberg

Herminia Palacio

Richard Donoghue

Michael Bloomberg flirted with a presidential run and made a splash at the Democratic National Convention arguing for a president who is “sane and competent.” The former mayor lost that round, but he clocked in at No. 10 last year on Forbes’ richest people in the world list with $47.5 billion and Bloomberg LP grew for a 36th consecutive year. Look for a larger role from Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety after another horrific school shooting in Florida.

The deputy mayor has a lot on her plate. She’s responsible for monitoring New York City’s exploding homeless population, taming the public hospital system’s rising deficits, overseeing the troubled foster care system and managing any unexpected health crisis that occurs. These challenges take time and Herminia Palacio has acknowledged she can’t solve every problem immediately. But Mayor Bill de Blasio is pretty lucky to have her around after clashing with her predecessor about homelessness.

The new U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York is not as well-known as his Manhattan counterpart, but his caseload is way cooler. We see you Joe Percoco and Russian Twitter trolls and raise you … El Chapo. That’s right, Donoghue’s prosecutors are responsible for trying the most notorious drug kingpin in the world. Plus, he got a jump on Geoffrey Berman, a fellow rookie leading the Southern District, by announcing a new case against Assemblywoman Pamela Harris.

Pete King

Dr. Mitchell Katz might have the toughest job in New York, and that includes running the subways. The city’s public hospital system lost $776 million in the first half of fiscal year 2017 and will face a projected $1.8 billion deficit by 2020. Into this mess steps Katz, who turned around the Los Angeles County Health Agency. Katz promises to focus on primary care, expand electronic services and cut administrative costs. Keep the flu the hell away from us, please!

President Donald Trump’s victory has given New York City’s labor leaders a lot of work to do. And Héctor Figueroa has been more than up to the challenge. As president of 32BJ SEIU, his service employees have fought the Trump administration’s immigration policies and tussled with ride-hailing startups, property owners and airports. Whether the Democratic wave is strong enough to sweep Republicans out of Congress may depend on how effective the union is at getting their members to the polls.

New York’s senior Republican congressman had been skeptical of a Trump presidency, threatening to leave politics if Trump became the GOP nominee. A year into the Trump era, they’re now “getting along very well.” King might have lost the fight over state and local tax deductions, but Trump officials have made repeated visits to Nassau County to tame the MS-13 gang. Now can King stop Trump from slashing counterterrorism funding to pay for the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border?

He has presided over the borough’s quiet renaissance, blocking a new jail and steering the North Shore’s ambitious redevelopment while Manhattan and Brooklyn get the press. A bigger challenge will be keeping Republicans on The Rock in line behind Rep. Dan Donovan, who will face former Rep. Michael Grimm and possibly a hungry Democrat in a key House race.

There’s so much buzz coming from Kew Gardens that Melinda Katz wants to run for mayor that she could probably market her own Queens-made honey. And why not? Katz enjoys support throughout her home borough, tourism is growing, she’s an expert on land use and is overseeing several pivotal projects – including both airport redevelopments and the redevelopent of Willets Point. Plus, she’s friendly with the business community. As rapper Nas would say, “Queens get the money.”

Henry Garrido, the head of New York City’s powerful municipal employees union, has made his mark in the de Blasio era. Garrido’s District Council 37 endorsed the mayor in January 2017 – early in his re-election campaign – and kept its membership steady while other unions around the country have lost workers. A key U.S. Supreme Court decision in a labor rights case in the coming months is worth watching, but the city’s unionized labor force isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

President Donald Trump finally has his guy in the Justice Department’s secondmost prestigious post. Geoffrey Berman hasn’t received Senate confirmation to be the Manhattan U.S. attorney – and it’s no cakewalk since U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand vowed to block him – but he’s in his notoriously cramped and pest-infested Foley Square office fighting terrorists, retrying state lawmakers and tripping up the governor’s best friend. If it doesn’t work out, he can always try podcasting.

Assemblyman Marcos Crespo is not as well known as Borough President Rubén Díaz Jr. or Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, but the third amigo of the Bronx Democrats has advanced his borough’s power in impressive ways. He helped ensure Corey Johnson’s ascension to New York City Council speaker in an alliance with Queens, his candidates largely won their council races and he secured the powerful Land Use Committee chairmanship for his friend Rafael Salamanca Jr. Ladies and gentlemen, the Bronx is rising.

Last January, the Brooklyn congresswoman raced to JFK to protest President Donald Trump’s proposed travel ban, earning her national attention. The year’s chaotic debate over the fate of DACA recipients, Temporary Protected Status holders and immigrants from predominantly Muslim nations has come to Rep. Nydia Velázquez’s doorstep. She has become one of the most forceful voices in the country on immigration and the congressional point person on the ongoing hurricane response in her native Puerto Rico.

But companies keep moving here and commerce keeps humming along, thanks to people like Kathryn Wylde. These days, the Partnership for New York City president and CEO is also sitting on the governor’s congestion pricing panel and helping the state try to offset any negative effects of the president’s tax overhaul.

Brooklyn’s top officeholder had a quiet year as he coasted to re-election. A vocal police reformer in the past, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams has sided with the mayor on body cameras and backed off critiquing the NYPD as crime fell throughout New York City. The most dramatic change he experienced last year was personal: Adams lost 30 pounds and is looking trim. His next transition could be moving to City Hall – if he garners enough support in 2021.

Her firm has a strong track record delivering for its clients, including in education, real estate and retail.

Real estate runs New York City, and in the City Council, Rafael Salamanca Jr. runs real estate. Land Use Committee chairman is a big promotion for the South Bronxite, and he’ll now have a big say in some of the city’s biggest issues, such as neighborhood rezonings, homeless shelters and new jails. Well-liked and tight with fellow Bronx power players, Salamanca was a natural choice. Time will tell if he can leverage his post into legislation and fundraising like former chairman David Greenfield.

Like many top developers, Rob Speyer comes from a real estate family with a long history in New York City. A few years ago, Speyer became the sole CEO of Tishman Speyer, taking the reins from his father.

But with stints for former Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and former Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, Lupo has the Rolodex and the know-how to advocate for de Blasio.

As Gov. Andrew Cuomo gears up for another re-election bid, he has been building up a record to run on with the help of Melissa DeRosa, who as secretary to the governor is now one of Cuomo’s most trusted aides. She’s also the first woman in the role and among the youngest to be appointed to the post. With many of the governor’s top priorities having to do with downstate issues, DeRosa is an important player on the governor’s team influencing what gets done in the city.

The initiative, which Torres-Springer called an “unprecedented investment,” doubles the number of units in the city’s housing lottery, with 24,536 affordable homes financed in 2017.

Melanie Hartzog

Although he ultimately declined to run against New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio last year, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries still had a hand in city politics. He played a behind-the-scenes role in the council speaker race that elected Corey Johnson. Jeffries now wants to focus on winning back a Democratic majority in the House, where he serves on the party’s leadership team. But it is a long four years to 2021 and Jeffries hasn’t completely ruled out a run for mayor.

The quiet power behind the New York City Council, Ramón Martinez has become an institution in City Hall’s east wing, serving as organizer, adviser, attack dog and vote-wrangler for Speakers Christine Quinn, Melissa Mark-Viverito and now Corey Johnson. While he lacks his new boss’s public profile, he makes up for it in legislative clout, controlling the flow of bills and budgeting for all 51 members. Rep. Joe Crowley got him the job, but Martinez earned the respect needed to keep it.

Melanie Hartzog, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s recently promoted budget director, previously served as deputy director for health and social services at the Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget. She is also the first AfricanAmerican to hold the position. Hartzog is responsible for the city’s massive budget, which rounded out at nearly $86 billion last year and has grown each year. However, threats to federal spending may pose an obstacle in this year’s budget negotiations.

Dominic Williams

The Bronx is booming and its borough president isn’t shy about taking credit for the economic upswing. His record, along with his policy chops and charisma, have made him an obvious contender for higher office, with his sights set on Gracie Mansion in 2021. Expect Rubéncito to leverage his tight relationships with Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Gov. Andrew Cuomo as he builds his profile, and don’t be surprised if Díaz starts to push more citywide issues at City Hall.

Dominic Williams got a four-year degree in how New York City ticks as chief of staff to then-First Deputy Mayor Anthony Shorris. With Shorris leaving, Williams got a promotion and will presumably be working even more closely with Mayor Bill de Blasio, his boss since the public advocate days. That kind of loyalty means a lot in politics, so expect Williams to play a big role in shaping the mayor’s second‑term initiatives and working with the agencies that implement them.

James Capalino, the leader of New York City’s highest earning lobbying firm, helped Bill de Blasio get elected mayor, and the close relationship has paid off. A former aide to Ed Koch, Capalino has been a player in the city for more than four decades. With de Blasio still running the city for another four years, Capalino will keep on delivering for his clients in real estate, media and other key sectors.

Being trusted outside advisers to Mayor Bill de Blasio is this public relations team’s best asset and greatest liability. Candidates hiring BerlinRosen for campaigns open themselves to criticism for the firm’s ties to investigations into de Blasio’s fundraising. But since no charges were brought, the co-founders can laugh straight to the bank. They’ve continued selling the mayor’s message to the city while helping guide de Blasio to re-election, and also consulted on Laura Curran’s successful Nassau County executive campaign.

Peter Ward

President, New York Hotel and Motel Trades Council

Joe Lhota

Despite charter-friendly Betsy DeVos’ appointment as U.S. education secretary, Michael Mulgrew has not had to deal much with the feds on charter schools. He has allies in Albany and New York City Hall, and he has one less charter school advocacy group to worry about with the shuttering of Families for Excellent Schools. However, Mulgrew, like other public union leaders, will have a tough time if the U.S. Supreme Court rules against labor unions in the Janus case.

Joe Lhota, the recently appointed MTA chairman, oversees the nation’s largest transit network and is responsible for solving its many problems, notably New York City’s crumbling subways. After Gov. Andrew Cuomo directed him to find solutions, Lhota launched a short-term plan to fix critical subway infrastructure. However, Mayor Bill de Blasio has said the city won’t pay for half of the plan, and the congestion pricing plan being considered in Albany leaves some funding questions unanswered.

Michael Mulgrew President, United Federation of Teachers

A pragmatic political operator, the president of the New York Hotel and Motel Trades Council has a way of getting close to those who can help him. He’s one of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s appointees on the MTA board and is the rare labor leader who can secure meetings with President Donald Trump. And while Ward helped pressure New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio to crack down on Airbnb, his power should only increase with Ward’s ally Corey Johnson becoming speaker.

Jerrold Nadler

Thomas DiNapoli

John Banks III

U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler was recently named ranking member of the powerful House Judiciary Committee. If Democrats flip the House in 2018, he would lead the committee that could initiate impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, a political foe. Nadler also holds sway in local and state politics, recently siding with Gov. Andrew Cuomo in a dispute with the Port Authority and has been a vocal advocate in Washington for the Gateway Program.

Thomas DiNapoli hit a big milestone last year, marking a decade as the state’s comptroller, and during that time he has generally been well-liked. Unmarred by scandal like so many other elected officials in the state, DiNapoli has effectively managed the state’s massive pension fund. While his primary responsibility is on the state level, his office conducts plenty of audits of New York City offices and also tracks the city’s rising spending and broader economic trends.

The real estate industry has long been one of the most powerful interests in New York, and John Banks’ Real Estate Board of New York remains one of its most influential voices. Banks has had some noteworthy victories over the past year, including the renewal of the 421-a real estate tax break, rebranded as the Affordable New York Housing Program, and many REBNY members will benefit from the federal tax overhaul, which slashes corporate rates for commercial developers.

George Gresham

Daniel Dromm

For over a decade, George Gresham has headed 1199SEIU, the nation’s largest health care union, which has afforded him impressive political sway. His loyal bloc of voters has helped politicians on both sides of the aisle get elected and stay in office. He supported Bill de Blasio for New York City mayor early in 2013. He just endorsed Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a longtime ally. And Gresham also has helped Republicans remain in control of the state Senate.

New York City Councilman Daniel Dromm sided the Progressive Caucus in the 2014 speaker’s race, then left that caucus, and still end up chairing the sought-after Finance Committee, which speaks to his political acumen – or at least his ability to get along with everybody. The openly gay former public school teacher hasn’t been afraid to get in early on issues like closing the Rikers Island jail complex, and now he’ll be speaking from a bigger stage.

State Senate Majority Leader Ever since he took on his leadership role, state Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan has faced threats from Democrats seeking to win enough seats to seize power. So far, Flanagan has fended them off, even amid renewed talk of a reunification between the mainline state Senate Democrats and the Independent Democratic Conference. The Long Islander will face another test in the fall elections, but at least until then, he’ll have a big say in city issues like congestion pricing.

Kirsten Gillibrand

Chirlane McCray

Jeff Klein

For someone who insists that she doesn’t want to run for president, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand has been successful at raising her public profile over the past year. New York’s junior senator was drawing attention to sexual harassment well before the #MeToo movement took off. She has emerged as a foil to President Donald Trump, on that issue and others. But especially compared to U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, she appears to have less of a presence in the five boroughs.

Chirlane McCray has, in many ways, redefined the role of New York City first lady. She has her husband’s ear, weighing in on the mayor’s policy and political decisions. She oversees city programs, including ThriveNYC, her signature mental health initiative. More recently, McCray turned her attention to rehabilitating female inmates, taking the lead on another new initiative. Additionally, she runs the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City, which raised more than $22 million in fiscal year 2017.

State Sen. Jeff Klein, the leader of the Independent Democratic Conference, has been under increased scrutiny. First, there was the agreement for the IDC and the mainline state Senate Democrats to reunite. Then, an allegation of sexual misconduct against Klein was made public, which he denied. The Bronx lawmaker remains a key leader in Albany, but the ramifications of reunification – and the outcome of a state investigation into the harassment claim – could erode his influence.

Emma Wolfe

Chief of Staff to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio

The former intergovernmental affairs director has a new title, but Emma Wolfe is still New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s most trusted aide. A number of news stories this year have detailed Wolfe’s communications with restaurateur Harendra Singh – who later pleaded guilty to corruption – but that was just evidence of how much the former Working Families Party organizer means to the mayor. And now that her boss cruised to re-election, Wolfe’s portfolio is only getting bigger.

Joe Crowley

U.S. Representative and Queens County Democratic Party Chairman Short of Corey Johnson himself, nobody played a bigger role in the 2017 New York City Council speaker’s race than Rep. Joe Crowley. Four years after being outplayed in the council speakership race, the Queens Democratic Party chairman proved he still has clout. His support is being pursued in the 2018 races, even outside of his district. Crowley’s stock is rising in Washington too, and as the fourth-ranked Democrat in the House, his dream of becoming speaker isn’t crazy.

No more stringing us along for 2017 – New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer is comptrolling for another four years, building up his resume and relationships to make himself a potential choice to be the next New York City mayor. Managing the city’s $200 billion in pension funds is power in itself, but Stringer also shows off his progressive credentials through audits, pointing out weaknesses at NYCHA, deficiencies in MWBE contracting and the real cost of bail bonds.

Alicia Glen

New York City Deputy Mayor for Housing and Economic Development

NEW TO LIST

Corey Johnson

New York City Council Speaker

New York City Deputy Mayor Alicia Glen directly oversees some of Mayor Bill de Blasio’s top initiatives. The administration has already hailed her affordable housing efforts as a success, saying last fall it was on track to reach its 200,000-unit goal two years early while also raising its target to 300,000 units. Glen, who also oversees job development initiatives, might even run for mayor herself – although some council members and activists aren’t fans.

New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson beat a crowded field this year to win his leadership post, thanks to an early start campaigning as well as a natural charisma and collegiality that won over colleagues and other key players. After four years in which the council operated nearly in lockstep with Mayor Bill de Blasio, Johnson has pledged to be more independent and that in turn could make him more powerful as a counterweight to the mayor.

James O’Neill

Commissioner, New York City Police Department James O’Neill has come into his own as NYPD commissioner, combining an emphasis on neighborhood policing with a more understated approach than his predecessors. During his short tenure, crime has continued to drop in the city, even as the NYPD scaled back more heavyhanded tactics that have been criticized by advocates. Politically, O’Neill can already declare victory, having helped his boss, Mayor Bill de Blasio, coast to re‑election without any major crime scandals.

New York City First Deputy Mayor

Last fall, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio promoted Dean Fuleihan to first deputy mayor, a top post in the administration. Fuleihan, previously the mayor’s budget director, will have a more expansive role while still capitalizing on his vast fiscal knowledge. His previous work in the state Capitol, where he was the longtime budget director for the Assembly Democrats, could prove even more useful as the mayor continues to seek Albany’s blessing for funding and other legislation.

Eric Schneiderman

Carl Heastie

State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has once again become a darling of progressives, thanks to the many lawsuits his office has filed against President Donald Trump on immigration, climate change and net neutrality. That has made him a more prominent player on the national stage, although the relatively limited scope of his prosecutorial work in New York City falls short of the broader portfolios of the executive branch elected officials ahead of him on this list.

With three years of experience, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie is settling in. He has a huge majority in the Democraticdominated Assembly, and his many downstate members give him sway over what happens in New York City, from the subways to plastic bag fees. His Bronx colleagues just helped elect the new City Council speaker. He’s an ally of Mayor Bill de Blasio. And with the governor tacking left, Heastie has delivered on issues like Raise the Age.

CHARLES SCHUMER

U.S. SENATE MINORITY LEADER

U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer has a reputation as a deal-maker. But with an unpredictable president on one side and an angry, energized progressive base on the other, the Senate minority leader has had a hard time delivering. To be fair, there’s only so much Schumer, the most influential Democrat in Washington, can do, given that Republicans control both houses of Congress as well as the White House. The man that Schumer was expected to be making deals with – President Donald Trump, a fellow outer borough guy – also seems to have trouble negotiating effectively on the national stage, despite a carefully cultivated image as a deal-maker himself. While Schumer and his fellow Democrats enjoyed early victories, such as blocking the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, they’ve suffered major losses like the Republicans’ tax law that slashes corporate rates and lowers taxes for many other taxpayers while adding billions of dollars to the deficit. Democratic Party leaders did reach a recent agreement on domestic spending, but they have failed to make a deal on immigration, leaving in limbo the young immigrants who had been allowed to stay under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that Trump ended. While Trump has insisted on a border wall, immigration advocates wanted Schumer to continue a government shutdown until a deal was reached on DACA – even if it hurt the party in the long run. Of course, Republicans hold only a narrow advantage in the U.S. Senate, giving Democrats reason to hope that they’ll be able to retake at least one chamber of Congress in the fall. Some prognosticators even think the party has a chance to win back both houses. Looking ahead, there is a chance that Schumer will be in a stronger position next year.

BILL DE BLASIO NEW YORK CITY MAYOR

Perhaps New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio should top this list – he did just win another four years in the city’s highest office without breaking a sweat. But home rule is more of a theoretical concept than a description of reality in New York. Add to that the fact that the mayor has strong adversaries in both Albany and Washington, and there’s little chance for de Blasio to land any higher than No. 3. That’s not to say he has been ineffective. As de Blasio pointed out on the campaign trail, he has seen crime fall to historic lows, even as his police commissioners scaled back controversial stop-and-frisk tactics. He successfully expanded prekindergarten and got the state to pay for it. Despite a string of bad headlines and lingering concerns among some critics, probes into pay-to-play allegations didn’t turn up enough evidence to charge the mayor or any of his associates. The only question is what the mayor will accomplish in his second term, apart from consolidating his first-term victories. Homelessness continues to plague the city. The mayor’s latest State of the City address was notable for its lack of any new grand initiatives. Other efforts, such as expanding prekindergarten to 3-year-olds, will depend on the state. And federal funding cuts are only exacerbating problems at the New York City Housing Authority and New York City Health + Hospitals. New City Council Speaker Corey Johnson agrees with the mayor on some policies, but he’s less friendly than Melissa Mark-Viverito, the last council speaker who was practically hand-picked by the mayor. A reinvigorated investigative committee within the council is already positioning itself as an aggressive check on the mayor. Then again, perhaps the mayor can position himself as the next Bernie Sanders.

ANDREW CUOMO

NO CHANGE

For years, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been the king of New York – and not just in Albany, but also, thanks to the state’s statutory power over local municipalities, in the governor’s native New York City. However, shifting political winds in Washington have altered the calculus, forcing the governor to contend with a higher level of government in the same way New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is forced to contend with Cuomo. The biggest state-federal fight in recent months has been over tax policy. Sweeping federal tax changes passed by Republicans in Washington late last year are poised to hit New York City harder than most of the rest of the country. Cuomo has promised to push back, even proposing a state payroll tax to try to blunt the impact, although it’s still unclear if the governor’s tactics will work. The governor has been outspoken on other federal policies affecting New York, including climate change, health care and immigration. For a politician long considered to harbor presidential ambitions – and one who made a point of focusing on his home state during his first term – the actions of the president now provide a compelling rationale for a Cuomo bid in 2020. Closer to home, Cuomo continues to display his power over de Blasio on issues like congestion pricing and closing the Rikers Island jail complex. What’s more, the governor finally seems to be acknowledging that he does control the New York City subway system, even if he blames de Blasio whenever he can. As for last year’s No. 1 – U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, the most powerful Democrat in Washington and a Brooklynite to boot – his inadequate efforts to shield New York from the president’s policies have dropped him down a few spots on the list, leaving Cuomo at No. 2.

DONALD TRUMP PRESIDENT

President Donald Trump is the most powerful politician in the country, if not the world. Since taking office, he has survived threats that might’ve toppled another leader: a federal investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, an endless string of scandals and widespread voter disapproval. In navigating the rocky start to his presidency, however, he has rallied his base by repeatedly lashing out against his enemies. His supporters say he has jolted the Washington establishment, revitalized the economy and taken stronger stands in national and international affairs. Critics claim he has undermined crucial protections for the environment, immigrants and the poor, inflamed racial and ethnic divisions, and heightened global tensions while increasing the threat of nuclear war. While his actions and policies reverberate across the country and beyond, his policies over the past year have a disproportionate impact in his home state. Trump’s biggest domestic policy victory – a sweeping set of changes to the federal tax code – is expected to have the biggest impact on places like hightax New York City, where state and local tax deduction changes are expected to erode tax revenues. And on Wall Street, where the president has laid to claim to a “Trump bump,” the vast federal budget deficit accompanying the tax changes has made markets jittery. While a push to repeal the Affordable Care Act fell short, a key component – the health insurance mandate – was eliminated in the federal tax law. The administration has made other health care cuts – and more could come – forcing New York officials to scramble for funds. Despite pledging to invest historic sums into infrastructure, the Trump administration has halted progress on the Gateway Program, including a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River that is critical to the Northeast economy. Trump’s administration has sought to restrict travel from certain countries, spurring protests in immigrant-friendly New York City. Trump’s ending of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program could result in the deportation of thousands of young immigrants – many living in the five boroughs. Other battle lines have been drawn between the federal government and the five boroughs, including in housing, education and criminal justice. Trump has paved the way for offshore drilling, drawing complaints from New York. His appointee to the U.S. Supreme Court could be the pivotal vote undermining protections for organized labor in the city. There’s still more than two and half years left of Trump’s first term, and he could serve another four years on top of that – although a few other New Yorkers on this list hope to prevent that from happening.

Who was up and who was down last week

LOSERS MARCUS MOLINARO The Dutchess County executive may have declined to run for governor in January, but that hasn’t stopped some GOP members from launching a #DraftMolinaro campaign to get him to reconsider. (The dwindling roster of GOP gubernatorial candidates – state Sen. John DeFrancisco, former Erie County Executive Joel Giambra and former state housing commissioner Joseph Holland – isn’t the A-Team.) Even if Molinaro doesn’t jump in, having supporters statewide and some good press isn’t so bad.

OUR PICK

WINNERS

The Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge was again a source of controversy last week, but it was thanks to Chevy Chase, who chased a car – was it a Chevy? – in a road rage confrontation and suffered a swift kick to his … shoulder. Though that didn’t land Chase on our Winners & Losers list, it does include a sanitation worker raking in a hefty New York City pension, a trash-talking lawmaker, low-down tow truckers getting the bill and the most offensive dinner in town served at a politically correct university.

CLAUDIA TENNEY Republican lawmakers often accuse progressives of “politicizing” a tragedy when they bring up gun control after a mass shooting. The week after the Parkland shooting, this GOP congresswoman said that many mass shooters “end up being Democrats.” Tenney followed that up not with statistics, but by blaming “the media and liberals” for trying to “demonize” gun owners and “politicize tragedies.” After several children were killed, Claudia kept it classy by attacking political enemies.

NYU’s president took the heat for the school’s racist Black History Month menu. Her husband’s trial spotlighted the $90K “low-show” job Joe allegedly got her. The assemblywoman’s petty jealousy of Manhattan Beep Gale Brewer reportedly “burns with a passion of a thousand suns.”
