Fascinating profile of Curtis Sliwa, the least-known (to me) of New York's mayoral candidates. "Mamdani wants to make the city buses free, Sliwa wants to crack down on passengers who don't pay their fares, and you can extrapolate two whole worldviews from those competing promises. But both are aiming their campaigns at New Yorkers who are sick of a governing class that produces politicians like Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo."
