NYC election results: City Council set to become majority women as veteran pols reclaim seats

The New York City Council is set to become mostly women — as Manhattan mainstay Gale Brewer and other political vets make returns to the City Hall chambers, Tuesday’s primary election results show.

Brewer, the Manhattan borough president, with 53.74 percent of the first-choice votes, won back her old Upper West Side Council seat, which she held from 2002 to 2013. Brewer will become one of nearly 30 women members of the City Council, which has been majority male.
