A bit weird how a lot ofpeople know about Bloomberg and Giuliani, but a lot less know who is the incumbent mayor of New York City is, at the same time.
There have actually been 109 mayors so far. Any reason it starts at 1934? Looks like current rules for election have applied since 1898. Adding in earlier mayors will avoid anyone having the score 9/11 (otherwise I guess we will have to wait until the next one comes in).
Only got 5 - embarrassed I couldn't think of de Blasio, nor the new guy, Adams, who's obviously been in the news in recent days. From the right column, I only got the guy with an airport named after him.
de Blasio is remarkable. In a time of intense political partisanship, he managed to unite people of all ideologies against him. Liberal, conservative, progressive, Nazi. Everybody hated the guy. It was quite an accomplishment.
I got all of the left column and the airport guy on the right (I had heard of only one other on the right). I remember Koch from the couple of years we lived in CT in the mid-80s. He later replaced Wapner on "The People's Court."
Separately, I was happy to hear de Blasio isn't running for governor.

But after the fact, I remembered Dinkins, Bloomberg, and DiBlasio.
