Members of Lambda Independent Democrats (LID) voted to endorse Comptroller Scott Stringer for Mayor after he squared off in a runoff with non-profit leader Dianne Morales.

The club’s endorsement was in limbo ever since Stringer and Morales each scored the most votes following a three-day, four-part virtual mayoral forum hosted by LID. A whopping 14 candidates appeared at the forum, which included discussions surrounding housing, policing, the coronavirus pandemic, LGBTQ issues, and other topics.

“I do really think it speaks to the nature of this race given the number of candidates and difference of opinions,” Arader told Gay City News after the first vote took place on February 26.
