The Democratic Primary for NYC Mayor is tomorrow and the service industry has not forgotten that former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who resigned in disgrace after more than a dozen women accused him of misconduct, ordered their businesses closed for over 6 months while providing financial aid that was either late or non-existent. Eris received $0 of pandemic-related assistance from the State of New York under Cuomo and, were it not for federal assistance and private investment, would have gone bankrupt.
Small business owners across the state lost their life savings and their dreams -- and the 1 in 12 New Yorkers employed in food service lost their jobs -- while Cuomo was busy, as he put it, "just being Italian" with his female staffers. We have not forgotten, and it is a disgrace that he even seeks to represent New York City.
It is time to vote in someone *new* as Mayor. Please vote tomorrow, and please don't rank Cuomo.
