"Look, I start with 28 percent from the last election. I don't think most of them are going to leave me. The Republicans will come home, and I have even more independents than Republicans,"
"And now, with the Protect Animals ballot line, first time ever in electoral politics, I figure I'll get another four or five percent. It's mostly women. But then I'm a contender."
"Look, I'm a Republican, but Curtis is not exactly prime time,"
"He wants cats to be in Gracie Mansion ... We don't need thousands of cats."
Curtis Sliwa is closing his second mayoral campaign with high energy and a clear strategy centered on retaining a baseline of around 28 percent from prior Republican voters, adding independents, and hoping the new Protect Animals ballot line will attract an additional four to five percentage points, largely from women. Polling shows the leading Democrat around 46 percent, while Andrew Cuomo’s independent candidacy and Eric Adams's exit have complicated Republican consolidation. Sliwa suffered a setback when Donald Trump mocked him on television, but Sliwa remains undeterred and emphasizes his campaign’s viability and voter outreach.
