Zellnor Myrie, a New York City mayoral candidate, is uniquely addressing Orthodox voters by focusing on affordable housing, education, taxes, and public safety, as outlined in a memo shared with community leaders. Unlike other candidates who often highlight antisemitism and Israel, Myrie emphasizes community concerns. His outreach strategy is centered on trust and collaboration, drawing from his personal background in the Orthodox community. Despite polling in single digits, this targeted approach underscores the significance of the Orthodox vote, which previously influenced electoral outcomes.
Myrie said in the memo that the issues are ones that community leaders have brought to my attention, outlining the steps he would take as mayor to address them.
Roey Nornberg called it meaningful community outreach that is based on trust, listening and learning.
I look forward to continuing to work together to ensure that the Hasidic community always feels safe, welcome and supported in our city.
Leading candidates in the June 24 Democratic primary frequently emphasize antisemitism and Israel, making canvassing in Orthodox communities routine.
