My favorite part of the NYC Democratic Mayoral Debate. Where in the five boroughs to get the best slice.

Traditionally, whomever wins the democratic primary wins the Mayor’s race in NYC so it’s a crowded field with nine candidates qualifying to take the stage Wednesday night (the second debate is on Thursday, June 12th at 7pm).

The debate was the first time for many to see Zorhan Mamdani for the first time. He is hoping to win over New Yorker’s with his progressive agenda to freeze stabilized rent, make buses free, and a Department of Community Safety to free up police to policing. It was a chance for me to see some of the other candidates such as Michael Blake who came across as a strong candidate as well.

Standing up to Trump and defending NYC is major a part of everyone’s platform. The June 24th election will be closely watched across the country for green shoots of activism as a preview to the midterms.

It’ll be a ranked-choice voting election. You can grab a sample ballot and find your where to vote on vote411.org.

If you’re in NYC District 4, and against the proposal to build a casino just down the street from the UN, vote for Rachel Storch who has said she’s a “hard no” on the proposal.
