New York City Democratic Mayoral Primary Features High-Profile Contenders

News summary

New York state is holding primary elections with significant attention on the New York City Democratic mayoral race, where State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is leading a crowded field including former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who resigned amid sexual harassment allegations. Polls indicate Mamdani may ultimately prevail over Cuomo due to the city's ranked-choice voting system, despite Cuomo leading in first-choice votes. Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who faces no Democratic primary challenge, is running as an independent in the general election, with Republican Curtis Sliwa also contending. Beyond New York City, several counties and towns across the state, including Broome, Chenango, Delaware, Tioga, and Erie County towns like Amherst and Hamburg, are holding primarily Republican primaries for local offices such as town supervisor and clerk. These local primaries feature contests with candidates endorsed by Republican committees or challenging incumbents, often focusing on local issues like fiscal management and development projects. The primaries reflect a diverse and competitive political landscape across New York at both local and citywide levels.
