What Others have to say

We obviously think Cuomo is bad for New York City. But don’t just take our word for it! A broad cross-section of organizations, labor unions, community leaders, and media have come out against the leadership of Andrew Cuomo.

Here is what others have to say…

  • “New Yorkers don’t need one disgraced elected official vying to replace another. Andrew Cuomo could fill a book with all of his scandals.”
    —     Co-Directors Jasmine Gripper and Ana Maria Archila, Working Families Party (March 1, 2025)

  • “Andrew Cuomo is a known deceiver and manipulator who had to resign the governorship in disgrace… As UAW members, we know Cuomo’s pettiness and vindictiveness firsthand… While every other major politician in the state chose to stand with us on the picket line, Cuomo never showed up. Cuomo isn’t running on a pro-worker vision for our city. Instead of addressing working class needs, he’s running to empower himself. He has spent the past months silent as our city has plunged further into duress as President Trump holds Eric Adams hostage. Rather than taking on corporate greed,or standing up for working New Yorkers of all backgrounds and immigration status, he will target his political rivals who unsurprisingly don’t usually run multinational companies.”
    —     United Auto Workers Region 9a (February 28, 2025)

  • “Cuomo’s tenure as governor was marred by scandal, corruption, and a complete disregard for the needs of everyday people....His resignation was not an act of accountability—it was an escape route from the consequences of his actions.”
    — Carolyn Martinez-Class and Rebecca Garrard, Interim Co-Executive Directors at Citizen Action of New York (March 1, 2025)

  • “Disgraced ex-governor Andrew Cuomo doesn't just want voters to forget about the at least 11 credible allegations of sexual misconduct that led to his resignation three years ago — he also has a transportation record he doesn't want you to remember.”
    — Streetsblog (March 3, 2025)

  • “Nearly every prominent Democrat in New York called for Governor Andrew Cuomo’s resignation in 2021, after New York State Attorney General Letitia James’s investigation documented Cuomo’s sexual harassment of eleven female government employees…he has spent more than $25 million taxpayer dollars in ongoing litigation against state investigators and against the employees he sexually harassed…Cuomo’s pattern of abuse, bullying, harassment, and retaliation are well documented and only add to his years of corruption and incompetence as Governor. He mismanaged the MTA, starved the city of federal homelessness assistance, and fought against fully funding public schools. Now, he wants us to believe he is the solution to the problems he created in the first place…For these reasons and more, we oppose Andrew Cuomo’s campaign for mayor of New York City, and we urge all of our Democratic colleagues to pledge the same.”
