The latest
What they’re saying
“Am I angry that I’m not the one taking down Zohran, the socialists and the communists? You’re darn right I am,” Adams said. “But you know what? This city means more to me than anything.”
“The mayor put his own personal ambition and ego aside to make sure he’s doing everything he can to make sure that New York remains New York,” Cuomo said.
The other side
“He is the most corrupt man in the history of New York,” Sliwa said. “So, hey, Andrew Cuomo, you can have whatever votes he had. I don’t ever want Eric Adams’ votes.”
“Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo are two illustrations of the same broken politics,” Mamdani said.

Meet the candidatesCurtis Sliwa – Republican
The backstory
Returning to the mayoral race after his 2021 defeat to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Curtis Sliwa brings his tough-on-crime message back to the Republican forefront. The Guardian Angels founder and outspoken radio host is banking on his core base in conservative outer-borough neighborhoods.
He has focused his campaign on public order and community-focused housing.
Andrew Cuomo – Independent
After conceding defeat in the Democratic primary, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has officially qualified to run as an independent in the general election, staging a late comeback that could reshape the race. Cuomo is presenting himself as a steady hand with deep experience, seeking to appeal to moderates, independents and disaffected Democrats wary of both Mamdani’s progressivism and Sliwa’s conservatism.
He has focused his campaign on restoring public safety and affordability. Â He calls for adding 5,000 officers to the NYPD and increasing patrols in subways and retail corridors.
Zohran Mamdani – Democrat
At 33, Zohran Mamdani stands out as a Democratic Socialist and a rising star in New York City politics. As a state assemblyman, Mamdani surged ahead on a fiercely progressive platform promising rent freezes, fare-free public transit, universal childcare, and an unprecedented push for public housing expansion.
His campaign is centered on housing, affordability and equity.
