I’m Andrew Cuomo. This Is Why I Want New York City’s Vote for Mayor
New York City stands at a crossroads. Rising crime, housing crises, crumbling infrastructure, and eroding trust in government demand leadership with experience, vision, and a proven ability to deliver. That’s why I’m running for mayor. I’m asking for your vote not just because of what I’ve done, but because of what we can do together.
A Record of Delivering for New York
As governor, I led New York through its toughest challenges—rebuilding after Superstorm Sandy, passing landmark climate laws, and guiding the state during COVID-19. We saved lives by flattening the curve when others struggled. Leadership isn’t about perfection; it’s about learning from mistakes and pushing forward.
As mayor, I’ll bring that same determination to City Hall. New Yorkers deserve accountability, transparency, and results—not empty promises.
Restoring Public Safety & Community Trust
Crime is rising, and fear is spreading. My plan:
– Precision policing to target violent offenders while ending over-policing of minor offenses.
– Expanding mental health and social services to tackle root causes of crime.
– Rebuilding trust between the NYPD and communities through accountability and dialogue.
Safety isn’t just about enforcement—it’s about prevention and fairness.
Solving the Housing Affordability Crisis
Skyrocketing rents and homelessness threaten New York’s future. My solutions:
– Fast-tracking affordable housing by cutting red tape.
– Cracking down on predatory landlords and expanding tenant protections.
– Securing state and federal funding for housing vouchers and anti-eviction programs.
New York must remain a city for all—not just the wealthy.
Fixing NYC’s Crumbling Infrastructure
Our subways, roads, and public spaces need urgent investment. As governor, I secured billions for the MTA and launched projects like the Second Avenue Subway. As mayor, I’ll:
– Modernize transit with expanded bus lanes and accessible stations.
– Invest in green infrastructure to make NYC a sustainability leader.
– Ensure every borough gets its fair share of resources.
Transforming Education for Every Child
Our schools must be engines of opportunity. My plan includes:
– Expanding universal pre-K and vocational training.
– Ensuring equitable funding so every student thrives, regardless of zip code.
– Holding the system accountable for delivering real results.
A City Hall That Works for You
I’ll end inefficiency and corruption by:
– Streamlining agencies and cutting wasteful spending.
– Strengthening ethics laws to restore faith in government.
– Putting taxpayers first in every decision.
Why I’m Running Now
Some ask: Why mayor after governor? Because NYC needs a leader who knows how to deliver—one who can navigate Albany and Washington to get results. I’ve spent decades fighting for New Yorkers, not headlines.
This election is about you. Will we let the city decline, or fight for its future? If you believe in a safer, fairer, more prosperous New York, I’m asking for your vote.
