As much as I cannot fathom why New Yorkers would vote for Mamdani, I am deeply disappointed in all those who encourage voting for Cuomo. Andrew Cuomo or his father, Gov. For far too many New Yorkers, Cuomo is the man who killed Grandma and Grandpa, and then tried to deny it. If I could vote for NYC’s next mayor I would pull the lever for Curtis Sliwa in a hot second. In addition to being a bona fide crimefighter, Curtis Sliwa has hosted several radio talk shows for decades.
