So far Yang and Adams, who are currently leading the last Mayoral poll have both heavily come out for MORE police funding. 🤦🏽‍♀️

“Safety is not synonymous with policing... We need to invest in our communities.” @Dianne4NYC just hit that question out of the park. 🔥 #NYCMayoralDebate 🍎

.@mayawiley has been hitting the “I am a Civil Rights attorney AND a mom” and “tonight a mother is without a child” pretty hard. (Polling?) Mother’s are incredible important but I would like to see her lay out her policy points a bit more clearly.

.@mayawiley did start about plans a little more clearly in the COVID-19 Recovery segment. However it takes a moment for her to get there “I spent Covid at home with my family.” Most of us did, you only have a moment to discuss your plans. #NYCMayoralDebate

.@RayForMayor hits his policy plan talking points right out of the gate. Cool, calm, and collected. #NYCMayoralDebate

Andrew Yang suggests, “we make our streets more appealing to increase tourism for COVID recovery.”? Mmm-Kay 😫 #NYCMayoralDebate

.@Dianne4NYC is the only candidate that has said the word “infrastructure” thus far. Side note, my husband has officially put Dianne as his #1 ranked choice vote. #NYCMayoralDebate 🍎

On how to aid small biz:

Maya Wiley mentioned signage fines. ⭐️⭐️

Katherine Garcia mentioned scheduled health inspections. ⭐️⭐️

@Dianne4NYC talked about the adding the excluded Arab American Business owners to MWBE (Minority Women Owned Business)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #NYCMayoralDebate

Andrew Yang, “I helped swing the two Senate races in Georgia.” 🤦🏽‍♀️

Eric Adams, “You keep taking credit for Black Women’s work Andrew.”

Thank you, @ericadamsfornyc

P.S. @errollouis called Andrew Yang out for not voting in 2020.

.@scottmstringer gave the grossest answer when asked about the sexual harassment claim against himself, “even if this [accusation] is inconvenient to me”. He needs to drop out. I’m saddened by the orgs still backing him. #NYCMayoralDebate

NY1 brought up the fact that Sean Donovan‘s dad is raising millions for him from an outside group WHILE he’s accepting matching funds from tax payers. Sean says, “everyone has these groups.”

@Dianne4NYC “Not every candidate.” 😂 Best moment of the night. #NYCMayoralDebate

In a 🔥clapback to @ShaunDonovanNYC, @Dianne4NYC said, “We can’t wait to desegregate housing in order to desegregate our schools.” Dianne lays out a succinct executive order plan to desegregate schools in her first 100 days in office in the 60 seconds allotted. #NYCMayoralDebate

OK winners (IMO) in tonight’s @NY1 debate hosted by @errollouis:

1. @Dianne4NYC far and away the winner of tonight’s debate.
2. @RayForMayor stayed focused on policy the entire evening.
3. @mayawiley wanted to be personal instead it took away from her discussing policy.

Those who did fine but I didn’t agree with their policy:
4. @ericadamsfornyc
5. @KGforNYC

Those who should seriously consider drop out:
@ShaunDonovanNYC (you didn’t solve homelessness stop saying that) @AndrewYang (egotist), and @scottmstringer (you know why)#NYCMayoralDebate
