Liz Krueger (D) endorses Brad Lander (D) No. 1 as he aims for Kathryn Garcia voters

The question of who will get Kathryn Garcia’s votes in this year’s mayoral election may still be unanswered, but one of her prominent endorsers in 2021 is going with Comptroller Brad Lander.

State Sen. Liz Krueger, is throwing her support behind Lander as her No. 1 choice, she exclusively told City & State. She and Lander are holding a press conference Friday morning. Krueger previously committed to ranking Lander and state Sen. Zellnor Myrie either first or second in this year’s Democratic primary.

In choosing a mayor, you want someone knowledgeable about the city, its issues and its bureaucracy, open to hearing out diverse perspectives, and capable of finding the best people to delegate to, said Krueger, a respected longtime state senator who represents midtown Manhattan and the Upper East Side. “I think that Brad Lander has shown that he checks more of those boxes, for me, than the other candidates,” she told City & State.

Lander, who has come in third or fourth in recent Democratic primary polls, performed best in his home turf in Brooklyn in a recent Marist poll – winning 12% of respondents’ first-choice support in the borough. (Overall, Lander still trails Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani in polls.) In that Marist poll, Lander won 10% of respondents’ support in Manhattan, where his team hopes to grow their coalition, particularly among the liberal but not too lefty parts of the borough where Garcia performed well.

1. Thank you

She was my State Senator for years. I am any Dem but Coumo in the primary. He should stick to the private economy or nonprofits he blew it being governor by sexually harassing women who worked with him.
