Today, Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats endorsed Brad Lander for Mayor, strengthening his deep-rooted ties to Brooklyn after securing endorsements of another prominent Brooklyn club, Independent Neighborhood Democrats, last week. Founded in 1968, CBID represents western central Brooklyn, which Lander has represented since he was in the City Council.

Today, two of the most prominent democratic clubs across New York City, Manhattan’s Village Independent Democrats and Brooklyn’s Independent Neighborhood Democrats, endorsed Brad Lander for Mayor. With this support, Lander strengthens his deep-rooted ties to Brooklyn and expands his momentum into Manhattan, making strides on other candidates’ turf. On Wednesday, Lander earned the Upper West Side’s coveted Three Parks Independent Democrats endorsement over Scott Stringer. 

In an effort to make our City safer and more livable, Brad Lander today introduced his innovative "Unlock the Toothpaste" plan to combat retail theft and free everyday essentials like toothpaste, deodorant, and diapers from behind lock and key — helping harmed businesses and frustrated New Yorkers alike. 

Today, Three Parks Independent Democrats endorsed Brad Lander for Mayor. The democratic club has organized on behalf of candidates and issues across Manhattan’s Upper West Side for nearly half a century. Three Parks’ endorsement comes just one week after another powerful Upper West Side organization — the Upper West Side Action Group — backed Lander for Mayor.

"We are proud to endorse Brad Lander as our #1 pick for Mayor. Brad’s outstanding record of delivering for working class New Yorkers and his bold vision for our City is exactly what’s needed to defeat Trump-ally Mayor Eric Adams and disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo,” said NYPAN Co-Chair George Albro. “Brad has won rights for tenants, victims of police abuse, fast food workers – to name a few – and will be a fierce champion for working people as our next Mayor.” 

According to a bombshell new report, Andrew Cuomo has been privately telling political insiders he views Brad Lander as his “foil” in the race for Mayor, worrying Lander has a “clear shot at City Hall.” The report comes days after a new public poll shows Lander as the best positioned challenger to Cuomo, echoing similar findings in a Global Strategy Group poll previously conducted for Lander’s campaign. An additional new poll shows Cuomo’s support drops to 18 percent after voters learn more information about his record. 

“This is an extraordinary situation that puts New Yorkers in serious danger,” Lander said. “When I’m Mayor, New Yorkers will have what they need and deserve: A mayor who will be in Donald Trump’s face, staring him down, every single day to stand up for our city. And when I’m mayor, my administration won’t just be allowed to oppose Donald Trump when he screws over the city. They’ll be expected to.” 

Today, Brad Lander released a plan to use modern technological advancements to significantly improve how city government works, how the public experiences government services, and the security of our city government systems. Lander’s plan, Leveraging Technology for a Government That Works, is his latest policy solution to make our city safer, more affordable, and better run.

In case you missed it, a new opinion piece from Brad Lander published in the New York Daily News details the Adams administration’s failures to tackle street homelessness and how, as Mayor, Lander will use a Housing First model to end street homelessness for people with serious mental illness.

Today, a poll conducted by the Manhattan Institute shows that Brad Lander is the leading candidate to take on disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo and scandal-plagued Mayor Eric Adams in the race to City Hall. 

“While Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams lead in name recognition at this early phase, Brad Lander has the most grassroots support, widest political coalition, strongest momentum and clearest path to take on these corrupt agents of chaos,” said Campaign Manager Alison Hirsh. “New Yorkers have a choice between having to endure another four years of scandal, with a mayor only in it for his personal gain — or Brad’s strong, experienced leadership, outstanding public integrity, and real solutions to tackle our toughest problems.”
