Grand Street Democrats encourages voters in New York City to leave Andrew Cuomo off their ranked choice ballots in the Democratic primary for NYC Mayor.
Former Governor Andrew Cuomo entered the mayoral race hoping that New Yorkers don’t recall why he resigned in 2021. But we remember:
- Andrew Cuomo resigned as governor after a thorough investigation by the Office of the Attorney General found he sexually harassed and retaliated against at least 11 women, including government employees.
- According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Andrew Cuomo and his senior staff discriminated against female government employees in violation of Title VII by subjecting them to, and tolerating, a sexually hostile work environment created by Cuomo for eight years.
- A 2024 House Select Committee held Andrew Cuomo publicly accountable for his involvement in issuing the disastrous March 25 Directive — which forced nursing homes to accept COVID-19 positive patients — and publicly exposed his efforts to cover-up the tragic aftermath of his Administration’s deadly decision.
New York City’s ranked choice voting system for primaries lets voters select up to five candidates for Mayor on June 24. Ranking Andrew Cuomo anywhere on your ballot (even last!) means that there’s a chance your vote will count for him. To make sure Andrew Cuomo does not win the Democratic primary, remember: Don’t rank Andrew Cuomo on June 24.
Resolution adopted April 25, 2025
