NYC - Yesterday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg won against William Thompson to win a third term as mayor Tuesday night in a race that turned out to be closer than many had expected.

 Bloomberg finished with a 51 percent to 46 percent lead over his William Thompson.

"Today voters from every borough, and every background, every neighborhood and every nationality. From every party and every persuasion went to the polls and they chose progress," Bloomberg declared during his victory speech.

During his concession speech, Thompson thanked the dedication of his volunteers.

Bloomberg's re-election was made possible last fall when City Council members approved a controversial bill striking down the city's  two-term limit law and extending it to three terms.

 Bloomberg will now join Koch, Robert Wagner and Fiorello La Guardia as the city's only three-term mayors.

The victory makes Bloomberg the first New York City mayor elected to a third term since Ed Koch was elected for a third time on November 5, 1985.

Bloomberg spent $100 million of his own money on his campaign, which works out to be about $200 per vote.
