The endorsement of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is critical for mayoral candidates in New York, particularly as they face Andrew Cuomo, a well-funded moderate leading in polls. Candidates submit detailed strategies to her team, focusing on electability rather than ideology. This time, progressive groups are endorsing multiple candidates and strategizing around ranked-choice voting to unite against Cuomo, reflecting lessons learned from previous elections. The final decision from Ocasio-Cortez is imminent, with two main candidates in the spotlight, Mamdani and Lander, both representing the progressive movement in different capacities.
Ocasio-Cortez's endorsement may be one of the most arduous to get, as candidates submit polling and strategy memos to her team for support in the race.
Unlike previous elections, left-wing groups are endorsing multiple candidates, utilizing ranked-choice voting to defeat moderate front-runner Andrew Cuomo.
