- Source: 1929 New York City aldermanic election
Elections were held to elect the New York City Board of Aldermen on November 5, 1929, in concert with other such contests as the Mayor, the Comptroller, the President of the Board of Aldermen, Borough presidents, County Sheriffs, and other miscellaneous questions.
Democrats won a majority of 61 seats while Republicans won 4 seats, all in Manhattan. In addition to their victory in the Board Democrats won resounding victories in the other contests in what was considered "a Crushing Defeat to [the] City G.O.P. [delivered]" by Tammany Hall. Three incumbent Republican aldermen were defeated by Democrats.
A Communist Party candidate in the election named Fanny Austin was the first Black woman to run for city office in New York City.
