JAMAICA, NY -- City Councilman Rory Lancman won another term representing the city council's 24th district in a landslide, the New York Times reported.

Lancman will serve his second term on District 24, which includes Kew Gardens Hills, Pomonok, Electchester, Fresh Meadows, Hillcrest, Jamaica Estates, Briarwood, Parkway Village, Jamaica Hills and Jamaica.

He claimed the district's schools, libraries, parks and senior centers have improved since he took office, touting the establishment of universal Pre-K and an addition of 1,300 cops under his leadership on his Campaign Finance Board profile. Improving the district's schools continues to be a priority for his next term.
