Sunday in the NYC Mayor's Race: Cuomo gets faith leader endorsements, Mamdani takes heat for foreign contributions | amNewYork
"With just under two weeks to go until the start of New York City's early voting period, the three major candidates for mayor are beginning to make their final pitch to voters. The remaining candidates Democratic nominee and Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani, independent candidate and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa are looking at a narrower field since Mayor Eric Adams dropped his independent bid for reelection."
"Faith leaders are the backbone of our communities: they feed the hungry, lift up families, and help heal our city's soul, Cuomo said. I am honored to have the support of so many respected pastors, bishops, and apostles who share a mission to make New York safer, stronger, and more compassionate. Together, we will rebuild this city from the ground up, with faith, hope, and action."
"Cuomo, who is looking to redeem himself in November's general election following an unexpected primary defeat at the hands of Mamdani, boasted on Sunday of the endorsements of 70 reverends, pastors, bishops, and apostles across New York City's five boroughs. The former governor, who normally makes public church visits on Sundays, celebrated the endorsements in a news release. The endorsers include 18 leaders from Brooklyn, 36 from The Bronx, seven from Manhattan, three from Queens, and three from Staten Island."
Three major mayoral candidates—Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, independent Andrew Cuomo, and Republican Curtis Sliwa—are campaigning in the final weeks before New York City's early voting period. Mayor Eric Adams ended his independent reelection bid, narrowing the field. Cuomo is seeking redemption after losing the primary to Mamdani and announced endorsements from 70 faith leaders across the five boroughs. The endorsements include 18 leaders from Brooklyn, 36 from the Bronx, seven from Manhattan, three from Queens, and three from Staten Island. Cuomo was the top vote-getter in Staten Island and the Bronx during the primary. Faith leaders publicly praised Cuomo's history of community support.
