US Rep. Dan Goldman endorsed state Sen. Zellnor Myrie for mayor on MSNBC on Monday, Feb. 10, 2024.to announce his backing for the Brooklyn Democrat’s bid to unseat Eric Adams as mayor — a move that could potentially give the relatively unknown candidate a sizable boost.“Zellnor is a true visionary. He’s someone who is really poised to lead the next generation of Democrats, both in New York City as well as the country,” Goldman told hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.
“That ability to stay in the city, for it to be affordable, for it to be livable, and, most importantly, for it to be safe, is slipping away for too many of us,” Myrie said. “I think people want two things. It’s simple. They want to be able to afford to stay here, and they want the city to be safe, and that’s what I plan to do.”, with the help of the city’s generous public matching funds program, he has not been able to break out of the single digits in polls of the current field.
“I think people expect the mayor of this city to lead in this moment and to do so in an uncompromised way,” Myrie added.Stringer poll has him leading current Dem mayoral field, but throws win to Cuomo if he jumps in FIRST ON amNY: Stringer releases plan to build 20,000 affordable homes in 5 years as he officially launches mayoral bidNew exhibit at transit museum features vintage ads that uncover uncouth behavior
