As the New York mayoral race intensifies, candidates Brad Lander and Zohran Mamdani are launching aggressive ad campaigns attacking former Governor Andrew Cuomo's integrity, citing his legal expenditures of $60 million. Lander, with a $750,000 budget, emphasizes fighting corruption, while Mamdani, with $100,000, echoes similar views on accountability. Cuomo's response includes significant financial backing from his PAC, Fix the City, showcasing his preparedness to counter these critiques. Both Lander and Mamdani aim to portray themselves as the honest alternatives to Cuomo and current Mayor Eric Adams.
"Andrew Cuomo spent $60 million of your money to defend himself in court - that's corrupt, but Brad Lander fights corruption," the ad, which depicts Lander in a car junkyard "crushing" corruption, declares.
"Corrupt politicians like Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo have sold us out to billionaires and corporations rigging the economy against us," Mamdani says to the camera while walking down a city block.
"This ad will introduce Brad Lander to voters as the honest, effective fighter New York City needs to stand up to Trump and turn the page on Eric Adams' chaos..."
Cuomo is well-positioned to fight back - his PAC group, Fix the City Inc., has already released an ad on his behalf, and has put over $5.6 million into ad spending for the former governor.
