In an already bizarre NYC mayor’s race, is there any chance of a write-in candidate finding success?

The 2025 New York City mayor’s race has been unusual to say the least.

The sitting Democratic mayor, Eric Adams, is now running as an independent in the general election after skipping the party’s primary. That contest saw 33-year-old democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani soundly defeat former Gov. Andrew Cuomo by nearly 13%.
