Michael R. Bloomberg was the 108th Mayor of the City of New York. He was first elected in November 2001, two months after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, a time when many believed that crime would return, businesses would flee, and New York might take decades to recover. Instead, through hundreds of innovative new policies and initiatives, Mayor Bloomberg has made New York City safer, stronger, and greener than ever.

Today, compared to 2001, crime is down by more than 30 percent. The welfare rolls are down nearly 24 percent. High school graduation rates are up nearly 40 percent since 2005. Teen smoking is down more than 50 percent. More than 840 acres of new parkland have been added. The Mayor's economic policies helped New York City avoid the level of job losses that many other cities experienced during the national recession. In fact, New York City has gained back more than 300 percent of the jobs lost during the national recession, and even surpassed the previous record for the number of private sector jobs, which had been set in 1969.
