Corey Johnson (born April 28, 1982) is an American politician.
A member of the Democratic Party, he has been Speaker of the New York City Council since 2018.Johnson was first elected to the New York City Council as the member for the 3rd district in 2013.
The district includes Hell’s Kitchen, Chelsea, the West Village, as well as parts of Flatiron, SoHo and the Upper West Side in Manhattan.
He briefly served as Acting New York City Public Advocate in 2019.
Before being elected to the speakership, Johnson was frequently named as a potential candidate and perceived as a leading contender.
In mid-December 2017, with the public support of Mayor Bill de Blasio, the concession of other front runners and backing of the Bronx and Queens Democratic Party, Johnson corralled the requisite number of votes to become the presumptive favorite for the position, with the full City Council voting on January 3, 2018.
