Cuomo Nears Launch of Mayoral Bid

February 20, 2025 at 7:55 am EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Supporters of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo are mobilizing to boost him as he prepares to run for New York City mayor,” Politico reports.

“Charles Myers, an investment banker and consultant, sent a ‘save the date’ invitation for a March 4 Manhattan event billed as a ‘reception’ for the former governor — the clearest indication yet Cuomo is readying a mayoral bid.”
