More than 160 Democratic lawmakers, including notable officials and progressive activists, have expressed their opposition to former Governor Andrew Cuomo's candidacy for New York City mayor. This letter, initiated by the New Kings Democratic Club, emphasizes the need for a mayor focused on the city rather than personal legal issues. Cuomo’s past controversies, including allegations of sexual misconduct and mismanagement during the COVID-19 pandemic, are cited as reasons for their opposition. The coalition has not endorsed a candidate for the upcoming Democratic primary but calls for integrity within party leadership.
Now is the time for Democratic leaders to show our constituents that we are the party of integrity, accountability, respect, transparency, and inclusivity.
After corruption cases derailed Mayor Eric Adams' administration, New York City needs a mayor who will focus on the needs of our city, not his own legal battles.
