bill de blasio -lrb- born warren wilhelm , jr. , may 8 , 1961 -rrb- is an american politician currently serving as the 109th mayor of new york city .
from 2010 to 2013 , he held the citywide office of new york city public advocate , serving as an ombudsman between the electorate and the city government .
he formerly served as a new york city council member , representing the 39th district in brooklyn , which contains borough park , carroll gardens , cobble hill , gowanus , kensington , park slope , and windsor terrace .
de blasio , the democratic party nominee for mayor of new york city in the 2013 election , defeated republican joe lhota with more than 73 percent of the vote .
de blasio is the first democratic mayor of the city since david dinkins was in office from 1990 to 1993 .
he ran for mayor promising to end stop and frisk and heal bitter relations between the new york police department and new yorkers of color .
his tenure has seen a spike in anti-police protests and disaffection with law enforcement , and he has been charged by the nypd union with putting the interests of protesters above those of the police .
he initiated new de-escalation training for officers , reduced marijuana prosecutions , and oversaw the beginning of body cameras worn by police .
de blasio approved a $ 41 million settlement for the five men whose convictions in the 1989 central park jogger case were overturned and ended a post-9 / 11 surveillance program to spy on muslim new yorkers .
