Any such organization should also have a candidate pipeline/monitoring system that doesn't just look at Wall Street, but highlights the diversity of the city's business community. So yes, have your Ray McGuire candidates, but also look at the small business owner for city council and the accountants for Comptroller.

Cuomo and Sliwa need to put their egos aside. Time to drop out and rally behind Adams. Otherwise NYC will fall into the socialist abyss.

Why not rally around Jim Walden? https://jimfornyc.com/

Bradley, your article really captured the despair I’ve felt watching our elections get derailed by low turnout and extreme voices. As a solutions architect, I channeled that frustration into designing VoteMatrix, a mobile voting platform to fix these issues. It’s built to make voting effortless while boosting voter engagement, educating people on the process, highlighting candidate qualifications, giving third parties a fair shot, promoting accountability, and coordinating activism. I believe VoteMatrix could transform places like New York and beyond by empowering more of us to have a say. What do you think about a platform like this? I’d love your take and ideas on how we can rally support to make voting more inclusive! #VoteMatrix

Bravissimo. And city and state work hand-in-glove on so many fronts, yet Dems have sent profoundly disappointing governors to Albany as well. NYC and NYS should by all rights be represented by the zenith of blue-state talent, full stop.

I haven’t lived in NYC for many years, but as a kid I grew up getting an earful from Italian relatives about revered “Saint Mario” Cuomo. The decline has been sobering.

You want the business communities to organize around candidates up and down the ballot - there's an app for that. Let's talk.
