NYC mayoral election looms: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: Voters’ alternative between Andrew Cuomo, Zohran Mamdani and Curtis Sliwa on Election Day.
To all who plan to vote for Andrew Cuomo just because “Curtis Sliwa can’t win”: You’re surrendering earlier than the struggle even begins. I’m deeply disenchanted within the New York Post for echoing that very same drained excuse (“Vote to stop ‘Mamageddon,’ ” Editorial, Oct. 28).
Sliwa might not be a profession politician, however he’s what New York wants proper now.
He’s robust on crime, grounded in actuality and unafraid to problem the established order.
Cuomo’s file, in the meantime, speaks for itself.
Don’t let the polls manipulate you — they’ve been unsuitable earlier than.
It’s not too late to assume independently, vote with conviction and provides this metropolis a actual likelihood at restoration.

Knowing he can’t win and can possible present a path for Zohran Mamdani ought to be enough for Sliwa to withdraw, even at this late stage.
If he refuses to, it could be smart for his supporters to not waste their votes.
Hold your noses and vote for Cuomo.

In a metropolis of boundless expertise in business, finance, law and the humanities, the mayoral race consists of a cartoon in a pink beret, an smug political nepo child and an antisemite with the financial savvy of a privileged faculty freshman at a small liberal arts faculty.
New York isn’t having an election — it’s having a nightmare.

Hopefully the profitable candidate is not going to be reminiscent of the “pied piper,” who led youngsters out of the city together with his music as a result of he was not paid for ridding Hamelin of its rats.
Mamdani is utilizing charming language, like music to the ear, by promising free issues to entice naive voters, whereas the opposite two promise to not raise taxes.
When these guarantees can’t be fulfilled, voters will notice they foolishly adopted a pipe dream.

Election Day could possibly be the start of the top for this metropolis if Mamdani, a socialist — not a Democrat — is elected mayor.

It is time for New Yorkers to get out and vote on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
This mayoral election comes down to who can best run this metropolis and the selection is up to all involved residents.
Homelessness, crime, unlawful immigration and the rising price of housing and food are points the new mayor has to attempt to clear up.
That is why I’ll vote for Sliwa, who I feel will make our metropolis a safer place to reside.

Election Day will decide whether or not New Yorkers transfer south to pink states or simply west to New Jersey — if the Garden State turns Red by electing Jack Ciattarelli as governor.

The Issue: Letitia James referencing Martin Luther King Jr. as she pleaded not guilty to mortgage fraud.
Attorney General Letitia James is accusing President Trump of weaponizing his Department of Justice, however she ran her election marketing campaign bragging that she was going to go after Trump if elected.
(“I have a scheme!” Oct. 25).
It’s the identical previous Democrat playbook: Do as they are saying, not as they do.
James reciting Dr. King in her “I’m innocent of all charges” speech was disgraceful and disrespectful to the late civil rights chief.
