US Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-Bronx/Manhattan) has endorsed former Gov. Andrew Cuomo for the 2025 New York City mayoral race, acknowledging his potential to address significant city issues. Espaillat, who previously called for Cuomo's resignation in 2021 amid scandals, asserts that Cuomo is now the best choice and emphasizes collaborative decision-making with community leaders. This endorsement comes after candidate forums where community perspectives were prioritized, demonstrating a concerted effort to advocate for northern Manhattan concerns, particularly around affordability, public safety, and immigrant rights.
"I am grateful to the members of the coalition for their commitment to this process and for ensuring that issues that are front and center to their constituents in northern Manhattan and the Bronx were heard in the 2025 mayoral race."
"Cuomo today is the clear choice in the mayoral race... a strong and proven leader who will work to bring solutions to the most pressing issues facing the city today."
