If you havenโ€™t alreadyโ€”make a plan to vote, vote Zohran Mamdani for mayor, and remember to flip your ballot to vote on the six ballot proposals!

Cuomo is going on Fox News in order to court Sliwa voters that he needs to win the election, and they want, uh, red meat conservative politics so he's giving it to them

I would submit to New York City voters that the guy telling Republicans he'll be the mayor they want is probably telling the truth

If someone claims to be scared of the subway but isnโ€™t scared of being in a car on the highwayโ€”which is exponentially more dangerous + deadlyโ€”they are not a serious person

Here's the kicker!

Now we know this approach, adopted by a broad coalition, can win a citywide race.

This coalition can become the new Democratic Party that Brooklyn has needed for so longโ€”one that builds grassroots support, one that wins elections, and one that delivers for every community!

About last night! ๐Ÿงต

Back in January, NKD landed on a coalition strategy as the best chance to win this mayoral race. Inspired by a @nywfp.bsky.social proposal, we planned our first multi-candidate endorsement. In February we endorsed four candidates for mayor and urged our allies to do the same.

An indispensable resource for Brooklyn Democrats. I'm in awe of all the work that went into this.

The 2025 Primary is on June 24 and early voting starts TODAY! Make a plan to vote! Don't rank Cuomo!

๐ŸซThe NYC public school system is a marvel, serving nearly a million students and employing 130,000 teachers and staff. ๐Ÿซ

But the fact is, Andrew Cuomo fought time and again as governor to lower funding to NYC public schools.

As mayor, he canโ€™t be trusted to put students first.

State aid for NYCโ€™s public health services was cut in 2019. Advocates want it back. In 2019, Gov. Cuomo cut the state reimbursement rate for NYCโ€™s public health services. Each year, the city loses up to $90 million for TB control and other core programs. This budget season, city lead...

House Republicans aren't the only ones cutting health care funding...

Andrew Cuomo already cut public health payments to NYC by $90 million per year!

"This was specifically a hit at New York City, deliberately done by then-Governor Cuomo"

Here are all the years Andrew Cuomo as governor raided MTA coffers or cut MTA revenue for things like bailing out upstate ski resorts:

๐Ÿ’ฐ2011
๐Ÿ’ฐ2013
๐Ÿ’ฐ2014
๐Ÿ’ฐ2015
๐Ÿ’ฐ2016
๐Ÿ’ฐ2020
(He tried again in 2021 before he had to resign!)

He's promising to "fix" the systems that were broken by his own mismanagement

Q: What do Bill Ackman, Anthony Scaramucci, Tanya Zuckerbrot, Randy Levine, Jonathan Kushner, and Geoffrey Berman have in common?

A: They're prominent Trump supporters who are funding Andrew Cuomo's campaign for mayor.

Yikes!

Andrew Cuomo's reputation for COVID leadership was built on a series of lies.
