[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you interested in an independent candidate who’s not the current Mayor should look into Jim Walden https://jimfornyc.com/

I’m also worried about Cuomo running in the general and mucking things up further.

The more independent candidates that enter, the easier it becomes for Mamdani to win. He got 43% of the friggin vote and a good chunk of Lander supporters will go to Mamdani.

Adams (Independent) and Silwa (GOP) are appealing to the same voter - the blue-collar outer borough conservative, the generationally wealthy UES WASPs, and anxious Jewish voters on the UWS - they will split that group.

Cuomo is apparently weighing whether he enters the race as an independent; I bet he doesn't and he won't have the money men again. The billionaires who backed Cuomo need to find someone who effectively can reset the race and convince Adams & Silwa to drop out.

I guarantee there is an immense amount of external pressure on Tisch to enter the race. She would overturn the apple cart and it basically becomes a fresh election. But its not clear to me if she wants that level of attention. She's never run for office and - unlike Bloomberg back in the 90s - seems to keep a low-key profile.

Otherwise, the billionaire boys club needs to find a headline grabbing name that comes into the race with a huge amount of name recognition. [/quote]
