Progressive leaders in New York City are mobilizing to field a strong candidate against Mayor Eric Adams, who is seeking re-election amidst a federal indictment. Unlike four years ago when the left was fragmented, key figures like Ana Maria Archila emphasize the importance of unity and strategy to replace Adams, whom they view as catering to elite interests. With ranked-choice voting in play, coalitions are expected around a slate of candidates, while a broader voter backlash against Donald Trump's influence could energize turnout.
The left was extremely disorganized and divided last time, and we want to make sure that we have a strategy to keep our side together.
We must transfer the mayor's office from someone who has been working for the rich and his friends to someone who will work on behalf of working families.
The Working Families Party will back a slate of candidates in its preferred order, and will ask voters to leave Mr. Adams off their ballots entirely.
The hope on the left is that voters will express their anger over President Trump's victory in November by flocking to the polls.
