3. Not about endorsements

It's about Democrats, especially Democratic Party leaders, getting out in front and leading.

While endorsements may not mean something to some, it matters because it shows support from Party leadership and leadership can use their influence in the Party to help drive contributions to Democratic candidates.

We desperately need to stack the deck and get as many Democrats as we can elected to office, at every level but especially the state, county and city level.
And this election is a not just some city mayoral race. It's the largest city in the country and one of the most important cities in the world.

(Not from or in NYC. I'm just advocating for a more resilient and inclusive Democratic Party)
