Let's try Wikipedia just for Republican candidates for Mayor this time...

I have  new idea about this...since there is a problem trying to upload the Wikipedia article on the NYC Mayoral race in toto, I will start by just listing the Republicans, then do Dems.

TBD
The 2013 New York City mayoral election is scheduled to occur on November 5, 2013, along with elections for Comptroller, Public Advocate, Borough Presidents, and members of the New York City Council. The primary elections are scheduled for September 10, 2013. If no candidate obtains 40% of the vote, a runoff between the top two finishers will be held on October 1.[1]
Incumbent Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a Republican-turned-Independent, is term-limited and thus unable to seek re-election to a fourth term in office.

Background

Republican and Republican-endorsed candidates have won five successive mayoral elections in New York City. Republican Rudy Giuliani was elected in in 1993 and re-elected in 1997. Republican Michael Bloomberg was then elected in 2001 and re-elected in 2005. He left the Republican Party in 2007 and successfully campaigned to extend the city's term limits law so that he could run for a third term. He was re-elected as an Independent on the Republican and Independence/Jobs & Education ballot lines in 2009. The term limits law was subsequently changed by a referendum in 2010, reverting the limit to two terms.

Bribery scandal

On April 2, 2013, federal law enforcement officers arrested numerous New York City-area politicians. These included Democratic State Senator Malcolm Smith and Republican City Councilman Dan Halloran, who were charged with trying to bribe various Republican political leaders so as to get Smith onto the ballot as a Republican. Also arrested were Mayor of Spring Valley and local Republican party leaders.[26]
