New York City residents can start voting for their next mayor on Saturday, Oct. 25, as early voting begins ahead of the Nov. 4 general election.
BK Reader caught up with Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa last month as he renewed his commitment to public safety and quality-of-life issues at the grand opening of a Brooklyn campaign office in Brownsville.
Sliwa was joined by dozens of supporters, as his staff passed out pizza. He reminded the crowd of his Brooklyn upbringing (he grew up in Canarsie) and pledged to advocate for safety throughout the borough.
“This place behind us will be available for people of all political backgrounds,” said Sliwa. “You could be a supporter of Zohran Mamdani and realize he’s got no plans to deal with violence and crime other than to turn criminals loose.”
He also expressed his opposition to the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity zoning amendments and the building of lithium battery storage facilities, a hot button issue for some south Brooklyn residents.
