Ep.95: New York City Mayoral Race with Sam Schniedman

Dunn Street founder Stephen Donnelly was joined, once again, by former Obama organiser and local New Yorker, Sam Scheidman. Sam gives a speed dating style update on Tuesday’s New York City Mayoral Democratic primary election, including a rundown of the diverse boroughs of NYC, the candidates, and the issues shaping this hot contest.This is a particularly historic occasion as it is the first New York City election to elect a candidate by a ranked choice voting system, joining a handful of other US cities adopting this more familiar voting format. The presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.
