In New York City politics, the focus on antisemitism and Israel among mayoral candidates is creating a significant impact on the upcoming Democratic primary for comptroller. The two leading candidates, Mark Levine and Justin Brannan, actively seek endorsements from rabbinic leaders to gain the Haredi vote. Recent polls show Levine leading but with a significant portion of voters undecided. Both candidates present unique appeals, with Brannan's strong connections and support for nonprofits and Levine’s emphasis on Jewish life and Israel highlight their strategies to resonate with Jewish voters.
Levine frequently highlights his connections to Jewish life and his support for Israel, presenting himself as a strong candidate for the Jewish community if elected.
Brannan's strong ties to the Orthodox community stem from his support of nonprofits aimed at enhancing family services, appealing to both his Palestinian-American and Orthodox constituents.
