Assemblymember Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn endorsed former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo for mayor of New York City, emphasizing his extensive political experience. Bichotte Hermelyn praised Cuomo's background as a public servant from Brooklyn, claiming he fights for equality and opportunity. Despite past controversies, including his resignation amid sexual misconduct allegations, she believes Cuomo is the right choice for leading the city. This endorsement presents a significant challenge to current Mayor Eric Adams, whose re-election campaign may suffer due to this shift in support as Cuomo enters the race as a frontrunner.
Cuomo is the frontrunner in the 2025 mayoral race, even though he only threw his hat into the ring on March 1.
Bichotte Hermelyn, who is the state Assembly majority whip, touted Cuomo's extensive experience as both NYS governor and attorney general as key factors in his ability to lead the city.
Cuomo never forgot his roots, or the importance of fighting for equality and opportunity, as he served as Attorney General of New York starting in 2006.
During his tenure, he led our city through the darkest depths of the COVID-19 pandemic, while instituting real change that made New York City safer, stronger and more livable.
