Brooklyn City Councilmember Jumaane Williams is New York City’s next public advocate after winning a special election with a solid plurality of the vote. The special election was called by Mayor Bill de Blasio in January to replace Letitia James, who vacated the role when she became the state’s attorney general earlier this year. Williams had served on the council since 2010, representing Brooklyn’s 45th district.
