Briefly

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo is gaining momentum in his bid for the NYC mayoral race with key endorsements from Queens Democratic lawmakers. Assembly Members Stacy Pheffer Amato, Vivian Cook, and Sam Berger have publicly stated their support, emphasizing Cuomo's commitment to combatting crime and supporting the NYPD. This endorsement shift marks a departure from current Mayor Eric Adams, illustrating growing concern over his re-election viability. Despite Cuomo's controversial past, which includes his resignation in 2021 amid sexual misconduct allegations, he asserts a strong connection to Queens and aims to leverage local backing for his campaign.
Cuomo's comeback is marked by key endorsements from Queens lawmakers who praise his crime fighting focus, management skills, and advocacy for the Jewish community.
The endorsements reflect a shift in support away from incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, particularly as his re-election prospects dim in the upcoming 2025 mayoral race.
