The Staten Island Borough President represents the city's least populous and most suburban borough, home to roughly 500,000 residents. Vito Fossella (Republican) won re-election in November 2025 -- making him the only Republican borough president in New York City. A former six-term U.S. congressman, Fossella focuses on parks, infrastructure, and fighting congestion pricing, which he views as an unfair burden on car-dependent Staten Islanders.
