#NYC Mayor's #Primary Tightening Between Ugandan born #Socialist #Assemblyman Zohran #Mamdani & Disgraced Democrat Ex #Governor #Cuomo, who resigned top state office under cloud of sexual harassment claims despite decades of erstwhile establishment ego, ol' fashioned #NY #Nepotism aiding his image.

A former adviser to Mr. Cuomo, said that the biz elite favorite had run a “grim and joyless campaign” compared to upstart candidate endorsed by #WorkingFamilies Party, #AOC and #DJT enemy Letitia James. The night before #election day, Mamdami appeared on #CBS TV with Stephen Colbert and sent email to supporters noting “It is essential that we turn out in record numbers in order to turn the page on #AndrewCuomo, his billionaire donors, and the #politics of big money and small ideas”

#RankChoice voting makes predicting outcome harder than usual in the multi candidate mayoral race, but Mamdani has momentum since leaping double digits in polling over past month, while third place to likely to go to his ally and city #Comptroller Brad Lander, who was recently talk of town after being body slammed and arrested by #ICE.

Between 2019 and 2021, California lost more than 1,100 licensed childcare facilities and nearly 19,000 licensed spaces—more spaces than the number of children in Mendocino or 21 other California counties.

In 2021, child care spaces were unavailable for nearly a quarter of California children ages 0 to 12 with working parents.

There will be very few 3rd party wins until we get that into place nationally.

Although one nice thing I consider a big win is my city council has a cap on majority party seats, so #WorkingFamilies party took one of the minority party seats. The R's lost their minds about that
