Andrew Cuomo’s long political career and near-universal name recognition may redraw the Democratic primary for NYC Mayor.

But there are many who are ready to remind voters about Cuomo’s past misdeeds and policies targeting New York City commuters, homeless, public school students, and women.

“If New Yorkers want a corrupt bully with a record of alleged sexual misconduct, supporting Republicans, selling out to developers, and exacerbating crises, they can just stick with the current mayor. Andrew brings nothing to this race but baggage and an outstanding debt of $5 million. Hard pass.” (via Twitter)

Brad Lander

“Andrew Cuomo destroyed New York City by cutting $2.5 million in Medicaid and thousands of psychiatric beds, resulting in a crisis of homeless people with serious mental illness on our streets, and by cutting MTA funding, resulting in the ‘Summer of Hell.’” (via email blast)

Zellnor Myrie

“Andrew Cuomo is no friend to New York City. As Governor, Cuomo slashed funding from our schools and subways, closed our hospitals, hurt our tenants and seniors — and Black New Yorkers paid the price. Cuomo encourages corruption, silences accountability, and has stood by as Donald Trump conducts a hostile takeover of our local government.” (via statement)

Lindsey Boylan

“Attorneys tell me to keep my head down and my mouth shut, but that is precisely why and how powerful men believe they can continue to act with impunity. This is not who we are as Americans — and certainly not who we are as New Yorkers. If we see something, we are supposed to say something. And elections give us our loudest voices.” (via Vanity Fair)
