REUTERS/Ryan Murphy Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa kept busy throughout Election Day on Tuesday, with the red beret-wearing Guardian Angels founder hopping between different polling sites and campaigning with GOP officials. Sliwa is polling last out of the race's three major candidates he is running against Democratic nominee and Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani (D-Queens) and independent candidate and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who lost to Mamdani in the primary. Mamdani is leading Cuomo in most polls by double digits, while both Cuomo and Mamdani remain well ahead of Sliwa, who is polling between 10 and 25%."

"Despite an increasingly narrow path to victory, Sliwa plugged away on Tuesday as New Yorkers went to the polls. In the morning, he accompanied his wife, Nancy Sliwa, to cast her ballot on the Upper West Side. Curtis Sliwa, who is running on both the Republican and Protect Animals lines, wore a tie featuring cats and emphasized his continued dedication to animal rights. A few minutes after 10 a.m., Sliwa called in live to the Brian Lehrer Show on WNYC to encourage New Yorkers to get out the vote. I would urge everybody to vote, even if they're not voting for me, Sliwa said on the Lehrer Show. I would suggest you vote for me. But please, whatever you do, vote, vote, vote."
