My #1 Choice for Mayor, ⁦ @AndrewYang ⁩! Andrew has a sensible public safety plan, he’s an outsider, not a member of political class that has eroded quality of life in NYC last 8 years, no whiff of corruption & loves & understands Staten Island!

My endorsement of @AndrewYang has been received extremely well on social media. Unsurprisingly there are detractors who don’t agree with Yang on this issue or that issue. I don’t agree with Andrew on a number of issues but big picture he’s the best option for a fresh start in NYC
