The Working Families Party (WFP) has endorsed a group of four progressive candidates for the 2025 New York City mayoral race, including Brad Lander and Adrienne Adams, to challenge established figures like Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams. This endorsement comes prior to the Democratic primary on June 24, as the party aims to utilize the ranked-choice voting system effectively. The WFP is encouraging voters to rank all endorsed candidates in hopes of amplifying their chances and preventing vote-splitting advantages for higher-profile candidates. A detailed ranking of preferences from the party will be released soon.
WFP Co-Chair Jasmine Gripper stated that voters should rank all four endorsed candidates to effectively prevent front-runners like Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams from dominating the primary.
Utilizing the ranked-choice voting system could help lesser-known candidates gain traction, allowing for a more democratic election process by potentially eliminating vote-splitting.
