Elections were held to fill the 65 seats of the New York City Board of Aldermen on November 5, 1935.[1] They would be the final elections to the Board of Aldermen, which would be abolished in 1937 in favor of the New York City Council, which was elected via borough-wide proportional representation.[2]
Democrats gained 13 seats, recovering from Republican-Fusion advances in 1933 and allowing Republicans only three seats, two in Manhattan and one in Brooklyn.[1] Thomas J. Curran of Manhattan was chosen as the minority leader.[1]
