M.e.a.t. party nyc 20218/18/2023 If elected mayor, Sliwa says he would reinvigorate the NYPD by reinstituting an anti-crime unit, and implementing special units of mental health experts to respond simultaneously with cops. Key policy proposals of his include property tax reform and regulatory business reform. Sliwa’s biggest claim to fame and to city civic service is the Guardian Angels street and subway patrol group that he launched and continues to lead. In his bid for the Republican nomination for Mayor, Sliwa has presented himself as a lifelong, no-nonsense New Yorker focused on public safety and economic revitalization, someone who “knows how to do more with less” as he stated in an interview with Gotham Gazette when discussing managing the city out of its budget challenges. Sliwa is the controversial founder of The Guardian Angels, a well-known group whose mission is to prevent crime in the city, and a media personality on WABC radio (and formerly on NY1 TV) with a history of misogynistic and racist commentary.

Whomever wins the Republican primary - which is happening in June like the rest of the city's primaries, with early voting June 12-20 and primary day June 22 - will face an immense uphill battle to win given the city's overwhelming Democratic voter enrollment advantage. The Republican primary in the 2021 race to become the next Mayor of New York City is not as crowded as the Democratic field, but it is also competitive, with two main candidates running for the nomination and chance to face the winner of the Democratic primary, among others, in the fall general election. The GOP mayoral primary now appears to be a two-candidate race between Mateo and Sliwa. The information on Tirschwell has been moved to the bottom of the piece and other edits have been made for accuracy based on the updated information. UPDATE: not long after the publication of this article, Sara Tirschwell's bid to get on the Republican primary ballot failed, which she blamed on ch all enges from Fernando Mateo's allies, announcing the end of her campaign and her support for Curtis Sliwa.
