New York is ahead of the pack in elevating Black politicians into positions of power. The state has elected a Black governor, attorney general, comptroller and several lieutenant governors, while both houses of the state Legislature currently have Black leaders. New York City has had two mayors, two public advocates, a comptroller and a council speaker who are Black, not to mention Black politicians who have served as district attorney, borough president or county leader.
