If you’re one of the 305,896 New Yorkers who voted early in the primary election - thank you! If you haven’t voted yet, today’s your last day! We know it’s hot out there, but there’s so much at stake this election, and we have a real chance at electing a mayor who is aligned with many of our values as anti-racist voters. Find your polling location here, then we urge you to rank Zohran #1, and not to rank Cuomo at all.
The latest Emerson poll shows Zohran trailing Cuomo by just 3 points in first-choice votes, and pulling ahead after completing the full ranked choice vote tally! This election is going to be close, but we can win if we turn out to vote! Can you text three friends to make sure they are going to vote and know to rank Zohran and not Cuomo?
You can brush up on how ranked choice voting (RCV) works, but the basic idea is to use all your options, and only rank people you could live with if they got elected.
There are other races on the ballot, too. SURJ NYC hasn’t made any other endorsements, but you can read up on the comptroller, borough president, city council, district attorney, and judicial races at these links.
Thank you to everyone who has shown up with us to canvass, phone bank, and help get the word out about Zohran. It’s been an exciting election season, and if he wins the primary, we’ll be ready to throw down to help him win the general election in November. We likely won’t know the primary results for a week or so due to RCV, but we’re thankful to have been in this race with all of you.
In solidarity,
SURJ NYC
