• Bloomberg’s campaign themes centered on topics that were important to New Yorkers, such as traffic and transit improvements, housing, and education. The support of departing Mayor of New York City Rudolph Giuliani, whose conduct following the 9/11 attacks was generally acclaimed, benefited him the most.
• Bloomberg won the mayor’s campaign despite lagging in the polls only weeks well before November 6 poll. He promptly took the reins of redevelopment, campaigned for the approval of a contentious citywide ban on smoking, boosted tourism, and eliminated the city’s financial deficit.

• Bloomberg further enhanced his national presence by giving policy-related lectures around the nation and leaving from Republican Party in 2007, all of which stoked speculation that he may run for President of the United States as an independent electoral candidate in 2008.
• Instead, he said in 2008 October that even if the term-limit rule was changed, he would run for mayor again. A few weeks later, New York City Council changed the statute to allow for three terms in a row. Bloomberg was re-elected in November 2009.
• Michael Bloomberg implemented a contentious public health campaign throughout his third term, expanding tobacco restrictions and seeking to prohibit the sale of huge sugary beverages.
• The escalating scandal over New York City Police Department’s on a practise that permitted officers to hold, question, as well as search alleged persons without probable cause, also impacted Bloomberg’s last term.
