New York City's 51st City Council district is one of 51 districts in the New York City Council. It has been represented by Republican Frank Morano since 2025, succeeding fellow Republican Joe Borelli.
The district holds a number of distinctions. It is by far the most Republican-leaning Council district in the city, it is the only Council district to have more registered Republicans than Democrats, it is the largest Council district by area, and, at 84% white, it is the city's whitest and most politically conservative Council district.
