Reply to comment by Grass8989 in Mayor Adams launches newsletter to counteract ‘distorted’ NYC press coverage by kinetic_hermetic

as someone from that demographic and living in Jamaica Queens, I can say with confidence that a decent amount of votes from people I know were based on name recognition alone. It was a popularity contest and Adams was the guy people knew the best.

I don’t doubt that name recognition helped him, but the common theme seems to be to paint everyone that voted for him as a borderline right wing fear mongerer. Last time I checked Eastern Brooklyn and the entirety of the Bronx don’t vote “right wing” nor are they Fox News target demographic.
