1. Me

3. Myrie
4. Adams (Adrienne, not Eric)
5. Stringer

I have a simple message to NYC parents: Our Department of Education is ripping you off — and lying about it.

We know what it takes to fix our schools, but to make it happen, we need a mayor who doesn’t owe the @uftnyc.bsky.social a thing.

My op-ed in @nypost.com:
NYC’s failing schools need a mayor who will take on the selfish teachers union
Repeating the same tired slogans and tinkering around the margins won’t fix our broken education system — but the UFT’s self-interest makes real reform impossible.

New York City needs a mayor, not a social media influencer.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social can talk all he wants about what he would do as mayor, but he still hasn't explained why he wanted to "dismantle" the "wicked" NYPD. Does he disavow his previous comments? Once again, here are the receipts:

Why is it so hard to get the basics right, like filling a pothole or getting the trains to run on time?

The truth is: the city isn’t working. But it can.

I am running for mayor to fix what’s broken and deliver real results for all New Yorkers.

We need to make crime illegal again by arresting and punishing repeat offenders.

NYC Affordability:

"Most of the people on this stage have called for freezing the rent. I want to do one better and drop rents by 20%. To do that, we must unleash the private sector by building a lot more housing, reforming our zoning laws and getting rid of red tape that discourages investment."

Education is personal for me.

My parents are teachers.

I’ve fought for students for 30 years.

As mayor, I’ll fight for your kids.

I will be on stage with eight other candidates at the first mayoral debate tonight, discussing the big issues facing our city.

Every child deserves an excellent education—no matter their ZIP code. 

That’s not radical. It's just right. 

If you’re with me, tune in to the first mayoral debate tomorrow evening. I’ll be talking about the big issues facing our city—including education!

Electing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will put the anti-police, anti-Israel and anti-capitalist Democratic Socialists of America in power at City Hall.

I am proud to be the only candidate in this race using my platform and resources to warn New Yorkers about the dangers Mamdani poses.
June 3, 2025 at 3:13 PM
Socialists are at the gate. NYC’s future is on the line.
Zohran Mamdani wants to defund the police and push extreme policies.

I will protect public safety and keep City Hall focused on results.

Honored to earn PLACR NYC’s endorsement in the NYC Mayoral Primary!

They’re the city’s largest grassroots ed group, fighting for excellence, acceleration & parent voice.

Together, we’ll expand G&T, support merit-based admissions & raise standards for all NYC kids.

🚨Early voting: June 14–22

It was great to meet with Tom and Jason Birchard, the father and son owners of @Veselkanyc, the city’s most famous Ukrainian restaurant and a hub for solidarity with Ukraine.

I had a fantastic time speaking to Value Invest New York delegates last month. It was an honor to come back, share my vision, and talk about what I plan to accomplish as the next mayor of New York City. Thank Value Invest New York for the opportunity!

Every night that homeless people are sleeping in our parks, streets and subways is a stark reminder of the failure of our city government – to help people who are suffering and to help New Yorkers feel safer and more secure.

Socialist Zohran Mamdani has accused Israel of genocide, supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel, and said he would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he came to NYC.

A Hamas-sympathizing Palestinian-American activist is playing a huge role in trying to get socialist Zohran Mamdani elected NYC’s next mayor – by spreading a message of anti-Israel hate and pushing…

We need to be the party of abundance – of growth and prosperity, that can get big things done, fast!

Here’s Ezra Klein with an op ed in Sunday’s NYT on how Democrats, while claiming to be fighting for working families, are actually screwing them:
Opinion | There Is a Liberal Answer to the Trump-Musk Wrecking Ball
Right-wing populism thrives on scarcity. The answer is abundance. But a politics of abundance will work only if Democrats confront where their approach has failed.

Street homelessness is a crisis. We need real solutions to get people off the streets and into stable housing while ensuring safe and healthy communities for all. Go to my website to learn more about my stance on homelessness and the policy I plan on enforcing.
