Candidate: New York City Mayor

Brad Lander (D)

Brad Lander is fed up with a city government that doesn’t deliver for its constituents. An honest, tough-minded citywide leader, Lander has devoted his life to fighting for New York City – and he has the record of results to prove it. He wants to deliver a better-run city: one that is safer, more affordable, and more livable for all New Yorkers. He is the only mayoral candidate who possesses the three most important qualities: strong management experience, outstanding public integrity, and a track record of getting things done.
