New York City's 51st City Council district is one of 51 districts in the New York City Council. It has been represented by Republican Joe Borelli since a 2015 special election to replace fellow Republican Vincent Ignizio.[3]
The district holds a number of distinctions. It is by far the most Republican-leaning Council district in the city; it is the only Council district to have more registered Republicans than Democrats; and, at 84% white, it is the city's whitest and most politically conservative Council district.
