Meet the candidates Curtis Sliwa – Republican \"Republican <\/p>\n

The backstory:<\/p>\n

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.

Andrew Cuomo – Independent \"Cuomo <\/p>\n

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.

He has focused his campaign on restoring public safety and affordability. \u00a0He calls for adding 5,000 officers to the NYPD and increasing patrols in subways and retail corridors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zohran Mamdani – Democrat \"Mamdani <\/p>\n

Zohran Mamdani<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

His campaign is centered on housing, affordability and equity.<\/p>\n
