Our campaign has generated a groundswell of enthusiasm and activism from New Yorkers of all backgrounds and ideologies as we move towards the Democratic Primary election on June 22nd. Andrew is running a campaign both in person and online that reflects where most New Yorkers are. While the other campaigns have tried to make the case that Andrew is only benefiting from high name recognition, the metrics in the race prove it goes far beyond that, and that Andrew has a powerful and organic connection with voters. None of the below even tries to account for RCV, which we believe will benefit Andrew greatly.
