My NYC Mayor Primary Ballot

[brooklynite]

Of the top three candidates, the only one I can see voting vote is May Wiley (Andrew Yang is completely unqualified and Eric Adams is too pro-gun for me). So I’m going with:

1. Kathryn Garcia
2. Ray McGuire
3. Shaun Donovan
4. Maya Wiley.
5 (blank)

1. Go with NYT???

Kathryn Garcia for Mayor (NYT endorsement)
Her ideas and experience
stand out in a crowded field of
Democratic hopefuls.

2. Not that simple...we have ranked choice voting...

Garcia is my first choice, but she’s still a long shot.

3. AHA!

[Dorian Gray]

5. Yes

Definitely number 1 pick... it's picking 2-5 that's more difficult! lol

4. Similar here

1. Kathryn Garcia
2. Ray McGuire
3. Shaun Donovan
4. Dianne Morales
5. Maya Wiley

(I like Morales a lot as a person and her career has inspired me personally. I hesitate to elevate activists or non-profit leaders to mayor, as I think they tend to be more idealistic, which is why Morales and Wiley are 4 and 5.) Donovan leaves me really cold. I like Ray, but he has no chance. 2-5 can change, but I think they're in the top five funning.

6. I really don't know much about the mayoral race in NYC.

So can you tell me the differences between Maya Wiley and Garcia?

7. I understand garcia

Is considered highly competent, but on a wnyc interview she came off with zero charm or charisma.

8. For me, it's Eric Adams all the way

No Republican can ever say he'll be weak on crime or anti-police, since he IS the police.

9. Any Democrat winning the Primary will be elected Mayor

Democrats outnumber Republicans 7-1, and Curtis Sliwa won’t be stealing their votes.

10. Of course, I've lived here all of my life

I'm just saying that no Republican will be able to say he's weak on crime or anti-cop, like they have done with deBlasio.
