'Chaos' Candidate? DoorDash Gave $1M to Super PAC Backing Cuomo, Who Decries Delivery Workers - Streetsblog New York City
Briefly

Andrew Cuomo, in his campaign for mayor of New York City, pledges to tackle the issues related to delivery chaos on city streets caused by e-bikes and app companies. However, a $1 million donation from DoorDash to his political action committee raises concerns about the influence of these companies on his policies. Advocates argue that both Cuomo and the current administration have failed to implement effective regulations to ensure safety and accountability in the delivery sector. With Cuomo's platform including revising pay laws for delivery workers, the stakes are high for both consumers and workers.
"I will take it at face value that Cuomo believes that we should regulate the app companies and incentivize safety instead of speed in making deliveries," said Eric McClure.
"New Yorkers are clamoring for a comprehensive solution on our streets that keeps pedestrians safe, professionalizes delivery work, and holds same-day delivery apps accountable," said Ben Furnas.
