This endorsement signals Torres' belief that strong, decisive leadership is necessary for the city's future, especially following significant resignations in Adams' administration due to recent controversies.
Torres believes Cuomo embodies the leadership needed for NYC in crisis, stating, 'We need not a nice guy, but a tough guy, like Andrew Cuomo.'
The endorsement underscores Torres' view of Adams as compromised, saying, 'I want a mayor who can govern independently of the far right.'

Torres emphasizes that the current administration's troubles are significant, noting that 'four key deputy mayors resigned last week in the wake of the quid pro quo allegations.'
