What the N.Y.C. Mayoral Candidates Hope to Achieve on the Debate Stage
This is The Sprint for City Hall, a limited-run series on the critical Democratic primary race for mayor.
Nine of the Democratic candidates for mayor will face off at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the race's first debate, as a flood of campaign ads begins to hit the airwaves.
Hi, I'm Dean Chang, the editor running The New York Times's coverage of the mayoral primary. This week's note of jealousy involves Andrew Cuomo, who told us that he still has a Corvette from high school. My college-era Firebird barely outlived my graduation.
In this edition of the newsletter, we'll preview what the candidates hope to accomplish at the debate, and ask Cynthia Nixon what it was like to debate Cuomo, as she did in 2018, when she ran for governor. We'll also tell you how Ilana Glazer is ranking her ballot.
