Op-Ed by Mona Davids: The Real Race for NYC Mayor Begins After the Primary

Op-Ed by Mona Davids: The Real Race for NYC Mayor Begins After the Primary
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Despite increased attention on Tuesday’s Democratic Mayoral Primary Election in New York City, the outcome is unlikely to significantly alter the lineup for this November’s General Election. In what could only be considered a political joke on nature’s part, the City faces an intense heatwave and deteriorating air quality, and potential Primary voters have been inundated with print, broadcast media and social media advertising campaigns and gossipy tidbits that feel like manmade extensions of nature’s wrath. Yet, through it all, several top candidates are already positioned to move on and up, regardless of the June 24th results.

Mayor Eric Adams is seeking reelection to his second term of office, but he will not appear on the Democratic line in the November election. He will run instead as an independent candidate with his own Party line on the ballot, either “End Anti Semitism” or “Safe & Affordable.” Former New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, also competing in the Primary, has also secured a separate, independent ballot line in November for the Party named “Fight and Deliver.”

New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, has been supported by the Working Families Party (WFP) and various progressive groups. Mamdani is also expected to continue his campaign through the November General Election even if he loses the Democratic Primary. Although the WFP has not yet officially announced who will run on its ballot line, Mamdani is the most likely candidate to receive that opportunity.  A self-identified “Democratic Socialist,” Mamdani has gained momentum in the Democratic Primary election fight through grassroots organizing and assorted endorsements urging voters to prioritize “progressive” candidates when voting with the City’s ranked-choice system.

The Primary Election is expected to eliminate politically weaker Democratic contenders from the field of candidates seeking the Mayoralty, but, in reality, the Primary Election will have minimal impact on the broader November contest. Eric Adams, Andrew Cuomo, and Zohran Mamdani are all anticipated to appear on the General Election ballot this coming November 4th.

Joining these three candidates in November will be the Republican Party’s Mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa, the Conservative Party’s nominee Irene Estrada, and another independent candidate with his own ballot line, Jim Walden. Estrada, a Latina, is making history as the first Latina woman to appear on a general election mayoral ballot representing a major political party in New York City. However, her campaign has drawn limited attention. 

In reality, the real Mayoral contest starts the moment the Democratic Primary nominee has been determined — which may take a couple of weeks. Voting New Yorkers should expect an intense four months of campaigning and competing visions of our City’s future. Voting is always important.  Regardless of the Mayoral campaign, Tuesday’s Democratic Primary election will also determine the futures of candidates for Bronx Borough President, Brooklyn Borough President, and Manhattan Borough President, along with seats on the City Council, so please remember that your vote always matters!
