During a Democratic mayoral primary forum in Washington Heights, candidates focused on critical issues like affordable housing and safe streets. Amidst the discussion, former Governor Andrew Cuomo announced his candidacy, sparking controversy and critiques from participants, particularly from City Comptroller Brad Lander. Lander accused Cuomo of seeking to rehabilitate his reputation rather than addressing the urgent issues facing New Yorkers. The forum, hosted by the Arc of Justice, witnessed fervent discussions on vital community concerns that have persisted since the last election in 2021.
Lander emphasized that Cuomo's candidacy serves only to rehabilitate his own reputation, not to genuinely help New Yorkers or address essential city issues.
Senator Myrie and others made strong responses regarding affordable housing, indicating it's a fundamental concern for New Yorkers and a critical focus of their campaigns.
