Rubén Díaz Jr., a Democrat, succeeds Adolfo Carrión Jr.
Assemblyman Rubén Díaz Jr. easily captured a special election for Bronx borough president on Tuesday, and will succeed Adolfo Carrión Jr., who is now director of the White House Office of Urban Affairs.
Mr. Díaz, 35, a Democrat, defeated his lone opponent in the race, Anthony J. Ribustello, a Republican district leader best known as the actor who played Tony Soprano’s driver on “The Sopranos.”
“You don’t run to lose, so of course I’m disappointed,” Mr. Ribustello said in a phone interview. “But I’ll be back to fight another day.”
With all the precincts in, Mr. Díaz had 28,301 votes, or 87 percent, to Mr. Ribustello’s 4,081 votes, according to the City Board of Elections.
