The latest mayoral poll shows Andrew Cuomo surging ahead, especially with minority voters—pulling 47% of Black voters and 45% of Hispanic voters. While some are surprised by Cuomo’s rising popularity, as the leader of the Brooklyn Democratic Party, I’m not. That’s because we judge leaders by what they’ve done, not what they’ve promised.
For Black women, who face persistent challenges — including maternal healthcare disparities, economic inequities, and disproportionate effects from the affordability and housing crises — Cuomo has a proven track record addressing these pressing problems.
