Crown Heights Unites Behind Cuomo in Mayoral Primary
Crown Heights has officially thrown its support behind Andrew Cuomo in the upcoming mayoral primary, making it the third Orthodox Jewish community to endorse the former governor. The neighborhood joins Far Rockaway and the Bobov community in Borough Park in backing Cuomo’s bid.
This endorsement is particularly significant, as Crown Heights was the first Chassidic community to endorse Mayor Eric Adams in the 2021 primary. With Mayor Adams not running in the democratic primary, and polls showing a competitive contest between Zohran Mamdani and Cuomo, the Crown Heights Jewish community has now united behind Cuomo.
Statement from Crown Jewish United and the Crown Heights PAC: Endorse Andrew Cuomo for Mayor
“Crown Jewish United and the Crown Heights PAC are joining forces to offer a unified endorsement of Andrew Cuomo as our #1 choice for Mayor in the upcoming primary.
In the past, our groups have endorsed different candidates. But this year, one of the contenders is openly promoting anti-Semitic rhetoric, supports the BDS movement, threatened to arrest Prime Minister Netanyahu if he visits New York, and chose to attack Israel instead of condemning Hamas on October 8, 2023—while the deadliest massacre of Jews by Hamas in modern history was still unfolding.
We believe it is vital to stand together and speak with one voice. Andrew Cuomo is the only candidate who can stop Zohran Mamdani in the primary.
Later this week, we will announce our #2 and #3 mayoral endorsements, along with our support for candidates in other local races.”

am reliving the time I spent with my Mother הי’ד as she was suffering greatly before she passed away 5 years ago. She got Covid in a Nursing Home because the Rasha/Menuval Cuomo ימ’ש forced them to take on Covid patients from hospitals because he didn’t want to use the Hospital ship or the Javits Center since it was arranged by Trump.
I will be voting for Mamdani & hope Sliwa will win
An open anti semite
How could you vote for an open antisemite?
If you won’t vote for Cuomo in the primary, at least don’t vote. You can still vote for Sliwa in November.

Excuse me but I would never vote for him, he who sent thousands of elders back to their nursing homes, there to die.

How much money is he paying people to get behind this Con Man liar? SHAME on the people who think we are that stupid.

If you don’t want to see Mamdani endorsed in the General Election by all the democratic politicians, you have to vote for Cuomo and not rank vote for Mamdani.
Both Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo have already registered to run under independent party lines in the November’25 General Mayoral election
Deadline to run as an independent for Mayor was May 27, 2025,

Tan shoes
Is having tan or brown shoes a requirement for Jews to rub shoulders with politicians?

Shmaya Balberg, Republican District Leader says: This election is a danger to all Jews. AntiJew Zohran Mamzerani has polls from 2 weeks ago with him behind by 20,000 votes and rising! I believe it. If you are a registered demoncrat, it is a MITZVAH doraysa to vote for Cuomo AND NO SECOND CHOICE. A vote for the nice guy (Myrie) is an aveirah because it “transfers” to Mamzerani. IN NOVEMBER, SLIWA!
