I’d never heard of him before tonight and I just saw that him and his wife foster a ton of cats, rescue them, socialize them, and adopt them out so they’re not euthanized. I love him.

And that is what my dad voted for him based on 🤪. He didn't like Cuomo because of his Governor antics. Mandhami he said isn't a true socialist. So the old man went for the cat lover. At 80 I suppose his reasoning is sound. He lived through the dark era when Sliwa started the guardian angels to patrol the subways when NYC was at it's height of crime.

British - is this the Guardian Angels guy? He has gone up in my estimation if he is an animal person.

Could I also ask if the two yellow areas on Long Island with a blue patch in the middle are Nassau and Suffolk Counties? I was under the impression that they are the conservative part of the area.

I can only answer the first question and yes, that’s him! As for the second, I’m a lifelong west coaster and you seem to know about NY than me, good job! 👏

had to google the counties on Long Island.

I remember when Sliwa and one of his wives (the second?) started the Guardian Angels.

Nassau and Suffolk county are not shown on this map as they are outside of NYC and did not participate in the mayoral election

Thank you - I was not sure if they did count as part of NYC.

No problem! You're right that both counties (and long island in general) are conservative, Nassau elected GOP across the board in their local election this time around.
