Statement on Andrew Cuomo’s Resounding Victory at Tonight’s Debate
From Bill Mulrow, Chair of the Cuomo for Mayor campaign:
“Andrew Cuomo demonstrated that he is not only the best candidate for mayor, he was the only candidate on that stage capable of doing the job on Day One. Zohran Mamdani has offered no straight answers, no workable solutions, and no proposals other than to tax New Yorkers into becoming ex-New Yorkers.
As we heard tonight, Andrew Cuomo is the only candidate with a real plan to hire and retain 5,000 NYPD officers and increase public safety. Zohran Mamdani spent the entire debate running away from past comments calling the police racist, wicked and a threat to public safety.
Cuomo is the only candidate who can solve the housing crisis because he is the only candidate who has built housing. Zohran Mamdani’s solution is a bumpster sticker slogan that will freeze rents for the few and raise them for everyone else.
Cuomo is the only candidate with a plan to strengthen our education system and expand our gifted and talented programs, while Zohran Mamdani’s plan is to gut it --end mayoral control --and rob our children of the opportunity to succeed.
Most of all, tonight’s debate demonstrates the simple fact that this is no time for on the job training, and Andrew Cuomo is the only candidate that will hit the ground running.
