Curtis Sliwa Earns Endorsement from New York City Council Republican Delegation
Backs Sliwa’s Vision for a Safer, More Affordable New York City
New York City – Curtis Sliwa, Republican candidate for Mayor of New York City, proudly announced today the full endorsement of the New York City Council Republican delegation, including Minority Leader Joann Ariola, Minority Whip Vickie Paladino, and Council Members David Carr, Kristy Marmorato, Frank Morano, and Inna Vernikov.
In response to the endorsement, Sliwa issued the following statement:
“I’m honored to have the full support of the New York City Council Republican delegation in this historic race for mayor. I’m running to be the People’s Mayor—not a mayor for the donors, lobbyists, or political machines, but for the hardworking New Yorkers who’ve been forgotten by City Hall.
With this endorsement, we are building the kind of citywide coalition it will take to win on November 4th, defeat Zohran Mamdani, and finally bring common sense and real leadership back to this city. Together, we will take our streets back, restore public safety, improve affordability, and make sure every neighborhood has a voice at City Hall.”
The endorsement underscores Sliwa’s growing momentum as he campaigns to address critical issues facing New Yorkers, including public safety, affordability, and government accountability. With the backing of the City Council’s Republican delegation, Sliwa is poised to unite diverse communities across the five boroughs in his mission to restore effective leadership to City Hall.

Curtis Sliwa Stays Above the Fray in NYC Mayoral Race
While Independent Rivals Bicker, Sliwa Connects with NYC Voters
What’s Happening: The NYC mayoral race is heating up, but not in a good way for independent candidates Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams. The two are locked in a schoolyard-style spat, slinging mud and arguing over who should bow out. Meanwhile, Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee and the first-ever candidate on the Protect Animals line, is steering clear of the drama and taking his campaign straight to the streets.
Why It Matters: Sliwa’s sticking to the high road, focusing on issues like crime, cost of living, affordable housing, and quality of life. While Cuomo and Adams traded barbs over the weekend—some from the cushy confines of the Hamptons—Sliwa was out meeting voters in neighborhoods like the Lower East Side and Long Island City, areas where progressive Zohran Mamdani trounced Cuomo in past elections. From Gen Z to seniors, Sliwa’s talking to everyone, and he’s not backing down.
The Big Picture: With four months until Election Day, Sliwa’s betting on substance over spectacle. He’s ready to face his rivals on the debate stage this fall, letting New Yorkers decide who’s got the best plan to tackle the city’s challenges. “I’m not stepping aside,” Sliwa says, doubling down on his commitment to the race.
What’s Next: Expect Sliwa to keep pounding the pavement, hitting every corner of NYC to talk directly to voters. He’s calling for debates that focus on solutions, not personal attacks, and he’s ready to make his case to New Yorkers in November.
