4 Dem Women Are Running For NYC Mayor

[Me.]

I would love to see a women mayor and think it's about time. 4 strong candidates.

You can read about ut here...

“There’s never been a woman elected Mayor of New York City and four of the candidates attempting to change that fact through next year’s election met for a forum Tuesday night hosted by Amplify Her, an organization dedicated to electing more women to office in New York City.
Former New York City Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia, nonprofit executive Dianne Morales, former city Veterans Affairs Commissioner Loree Sutton, and Maya Wiley, a civil rights attorney and former counsel to Mayor Bill de Blasio, participated in the forum. All four are Democrats and all are first-time candidates for any elected office.”

1. i love it. come on ny.

we're on our second here in 2nd city. catch up.

[Me.]

2. Still They Persist

3. I'm thinking of picking....

at least two if not all three women as my 1st, 2nd & 3rd choices. I'm a born & bred NYC'r.
There are people here in NYC who are as of now are planning to pick two, if not all 3 top slots for the women candidates. 👍

[Me.]

5. I Serioudly Am

But there are 4 women, just don't know much about 2 of them yet

Most of the males don't impress me and some not at all. Same old promises, same old rhetoric.

[StarfishSaver]

4. And yet, the male candidates are dominating the coverage

Typical

[Me.]

6. Exactly

[Polybius]

21. To be fair, the top two males running are amazing this election

I wish I could have Adams and Yang, but I must choose one for the top (ranked choice makes it a little easier).

[StarfishSaver]

22. So are the women

But it's hard for people to know that since they haven't gotten anywhere near the coverage that the men have

[catsudon]

23. Half agree with you

I only know Yang from his presidential run. I do not know Adams, or the other people running.

if AOC were able to, and decides to run I'm sure she'd get top headline. She was able to make the headlines before being elected so I knew all about her.

7. Brian Lerher on WNYC is doing a questions for mayorial...

candidates. Probably in their archives.

Wiley is the one I've heard. Garcia I know the name... I have to look at all four.

[Me.]

8. Really Like Maya

If you've been an MSNBC viewer in the past you would've seen a lot of Maya. I am also increasingly impressed with Kathryn Garcia. She has a fierce ad out.

[brooklynite]

10. Garcia just got the Times endorsement.

[Dorian Gray]

15. Super excited for that one

she's capable and ready to run the city. Nobody has her experience in NYC.

[Dorian Gray]

14. Maya is an amazing woman

but I'm hesitant about her as mayor. She's a fierce advocate for people, but being an adovcat and a mayor are often unaligned. It's something that BDB has suffered with, and led to limp decisions that make him look hypocritical or weak.

[electric_blue68]

24. I can only get MSNBC on the new in radio. No cable (etc) TV

Well, I need a now TV since I can't get my digital converter box to work anymore.

9. Loree Sutton dropped out weeks ago.

[Me.]

12. Ty

[demtenjeep]

11. Maya Wiley

but I don't live in NY

[Dorian Gray]

13. Kathryn Garcia

is my woman! She was endorsed by the NY Times, as well! Whoo. I think she's competent and every single man running for mayor said they'd hire her to run things. Uh no. She should run things. And hire one of them to make sure Yang stops showing up.

[Me.]

16. She Certainly Will Be One Of My Choices

[Dorian Gray]

17. Yay!

I like all the women a lot, for different reasons. They're all really involved with local organizations in different ways and have made a difference in our city.

[ARandomPerson]

18. These women don't have that much in common.

I like Garcia. If I lived in NYC, she would be my first choice, followed by Adams and Yang.

I don't know anything about Sutton, but I wouldn't want Wiley or Morales.

[Me.]

19. Maya & Her Family

have a long history of working for civil rights. I'm weak on Adams and don't know what I think about Yang as Mayor.

[Polybius]

20. Next time maybe

Adams and Yang are just too good to pass up this time around.
