Overview

• Brad Lander, Adrienne Adams, state Sens. Zellnor Myrie and Jessica Ramos were placed second through fifth in the WFP’s ordered slate
• An Emerson College survey shows former Gov. Andrew Cuomo leading with 35 percent, Mamdani at 23 percent and Lander at 11 percent
• WFP strategists expect the endorsement to influence ranked-choice ballots by steering supporters to list Mamdani as their top pick
• Mamdani’s platform includes spending $1 billion on non-NYPD homelessness and mental health services while Lander has embraced hiring more police
• The party signaled readiness to run its own candidate line in November if Cuomo secures the Democratic nomination
