As voting gets underway in the NYC mayor's race, here’s a look at what each candidate’s election could mean for Jews.

The early voting turnout results could also spell trouble for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo as the high-voting boroughs were those that his rival, Democrat candidate Zohran Mamdani, won in the June primary.

Blima Marcus, an Orthodox nurse in Brooklyn, wrote on Facebook that she had abandoned an earlier promise not to vote at all and would cast a ballot for Cuomo if she can make it to the polls. Tracey Wells didn’t necessarily want to see Andrew Cuomo resign in disgrace as New York’s governor in 2021.
