Follow the leading four Democratic mayoral candidates as they vied for votes across the city — and see how their stumping paid off.
The mayoral candidates blazed their campaign trails with fervor in the final weeks before the primary election, shedding masks, embracing voters and hoping their non-Zoom facetime would pay off.
THE CITY traced the top four Democratic candidates’ whereabouts between April 1 and June 22, using public schedules released by their campaigns and social media posts.
The result provided insight into each candidate’s strategy to vie for New Yorkers’ votes — and offered hints on where priorities may be for primary winner Eric Adams, who is likely to become the city’s 110th chief executive due to the overwhelming Democratic voter enrollment.
Unlike his competitors, who largely ignored southeastern Queens, Adams made frequent stops in the area, particularly toward the tail-end of the campaign.
Adams grew up in South Jamaica, and voters in the area are exactly the type of constituency he was hoping to attract: Black homeowners who “are active in civic life and deeply concerned about public safety and motivated in this election by serious concern about the decline of the city,” Thies said.
This is so correct. South East Queens is the bastion of middle class and working class voters who aren't trying to hear the nonsense of these woke activists. They are immigrants and southerners who came to New York for a better life. They want safety, better schools, healthcare and services within their community. Eric Adam's flyers were everywhere.
Most of the families in these communities have very conservative views which actually are more in line with Republican ideals. They vote democrat out of habit.
A democrat with Republican type message will winn easily.

would they vote for bringing stop and frisk back?
Regardless if they are concerned about crime some might argue that means that a more proactive police presence is need and they might argue aggressive policing is a Republican ideal
But what about this other stuff "better schools, healthcare and services within their community."
those things are more associated with Republicans ?

Abortion. Same sex marriage. Outlook on immigration. I know the Jamaicans threw a fit when the Haitians were illegally moving to their country.
Read the comments under the Articles in the Trinidad newspapers regarding the Venezuelans illegally moving to Trinidad. I always get a chuckle how hypocritical they are.
Bahamians are not welcoming to Trinidadians and Haitian immigrants.
There is a church on every block in these neighborhoods.
They definitely are in favor of more policing. Not necessarily stop and frisk but getting rid of drug dealers and violent criminals.
Given that SE Queens is likely the biggest urban predominantly(if not overwhelmingly so in parts) black middle class concentration in the country, it makes sense to at least stop by the area once during the campaign.
I actually believe SE Queens is one of the biggest concentrations of its kind; urban, suburban or otherwise.
