About Brad Hoylman-Sigal

Brad Hoylman-Sigal is the 29th Manhattan Borough President, a lifelong public servant and community advocate who has called New York City home for more than 35 years. He brings deep roots in the borough and a long track-record of building a more equitable, affordable, and inclusive New York for all.

Before becoming Borough President, Brad served for more than a decade in the New York State Senate, where he established himself as one of Albany’s most effective champions for tenants, workers, families, and civil rights through his passage of over 400 bills. During his Senate tenure, Brad played a leading role in advancing some of the most significant progressive reforms in New York State, including landmark tenant protections, major expansions of LGBTQ+ rights, and critical legislation to improve public safety, consumer protections, and government transparency.

Brad also previously served for over ten years as member and chair of his Community Board, working directly with residents, small businesses, and neighborhood leaders to solve local problems and strengthen community life.

Brad lives in Greenwich Village with his husband David and their two daughters. As both a parent and a longtime New Yorker, he understands firsthand the pressures families face, from housing costs and childcare to safe streets, quality schools, and access to opportunity.

As Borough President, Brad’s priorities are rooted in listening to the people of Manhattan and delivering real results. His administration is focused on:

• Expanding affordable housing and protecting tenants
• Supporting small businesses and strengthening local economies
• Ensuring affordability for working families
• Providing real representation for every community in Manhattan
• Strengthening arts and culture as essential to the borough’s identity and economy
• Protecting immigrant neighbors and ensuring access to services for all
• Promoting civic participation and transparent, accountable government
• Providing guidance and direct services to constituents navigating city government
• Ensuring equity in how resources and services are distributed across the borough

Brad is committed to a Borough President’s Office that is accessible, responsive, and deeply connected to the community. He believes the best policies are shaped by the people they serve, and that every New Yorker deserves to be heard, respected, and represented.

Under his leadership, the Manhattan Borough President’s Office will continue to fight for opportunity, fairness, and a thriving future for every neighborhood in the borough.
