This is the second election in a row where @NYWFP has basically sat out the election in Council District 40, and I really don't like that.

In 2017, they refused to endorse in the primary (when it would have actually helped), and then endorsed Cunningham only like a week before the general election. It was so close to the election, Cunningham's campaign had to put stickers on their existing lit.
Cunningham lost by less than 2,000 votes, and our useless incumbent council member barely cleared 40% of the vote. Clear guidance from WFP and some IEs might have toppled him. 
Also, man, Jen Berkley. Imagine being a white lady gentrifier in an overwhelmingly black neighborhood and saying, "Yeah, you know who should run for city council? Me."
Anyway, it really doesn't make sense to me. In 2017, there was one clear progressive and one moderate insurgent (Raymond, who has ties to Eric Adams), and this year they could rank all of the decent progressives, and yet instead there's nothing. It's genuinely weird!
