“#Citizens Union ranks Garcia 1st, Adams 2nd for mayor<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The city\u2019s top civic watchdog group ranked former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia first and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams second in the Democratic primary election for mayor ahead of early voting beginning Saturday.<\/p>\n

Citizens Union also listed city Comptroller Scott Stringer as its third-ranked choice.<\/p>\n

The primary election is June 22.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our most consequential mayoral election in decades and our first under ranked-choice voting. As a result, we are expressing our preference for multiple candidates in the crowded Democratic primary field, but two, in particular, rose above the rest,\u201d said Citizens Union chairman Randy Mastro, a former deputy mayor under Rudy Giuliani.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe prefer Kathryn Garcia for her proven track record of successfully managing City agencies through crises. We prefer Eric Adams for his inspiring leadership and impressive agenda emphasizing public safety and economic recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGarcia and Adams received, by far, the most support among our Board members, but in a close vote, Garcia outpolled Adams in our ranked choice vote. So from this strong field, we are pleased to be able to recommend these candidates to New York City\u2019s Democratic primary voters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mastro added that the 120-year civic group expressed a third-place preference for Stringer, citing his decades of public service and experience as comptroller. Stringer\u2019s campaign has been rocked by sexual harassment accusations, which Citizens Union did not mention in its statement.<\/p>\n

In the comptroller\u2019s race, the group ranked Manhattan state Sen. Brian Benjamin first and Council Speaker Corey Johnson second. It ranked Brooklyn Councilman Brad Lander third.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the mayoral candidates on Friday touted other endorsements before early voting begins.<\/p>\n

Adams landed the endorsement of the NYC District Council of Carpenters and Staten Island Councilwoman Debi Rose, as well as actor and civil rights activist Danny Glover.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pandemic knocked New York City to the ground, and we need a mayor who is going to lift us all back up and there is no one better than Borough President Eric Adams to do just that,\u201d said Joseph Geiger, executive secretary-treasurer of the New York City District Council of Carpenters. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you care about good jobs, if you care about safety, if you never abandoned New York City and want a mayor who will never abandon you, then there is only one choice on June 22nd: Eric Adams.\u201d<\/p>\n

Entrepreneur Andrew Yang snagged the endorsement of former Brooklyn Councilman Sal Albanese, who ran for mayor against Bill de Blasio in 2017. He moved to Staten Island and is now running for a Staten Island council seat.<\/p>\n

\u201cAndrew is not part of the political class of New York City \u2014 he\u2019s an outsider, and what we don\u2019t need is more people from the political class that have eroded the quality of life in New York City,\u201d Albanese said during an app<\/a>earance with Yang on Staten Island.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve seen eight years of pay-to-play corruption with this administration. We want to turn the page, turn the page, start with a clean slate, and Andrew can do that. There\u2019s not a whiff of corruption around Andrew Yang \u2014 he has integrity, he\u2019s well-known as an, as an independent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason why Bill de Blasio is trying to derail his candidacy is because Andrew will end business as usual.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
