The implementation of ranked choice voting—in tandem with the impact of the pandemic on our city’s civic fabric, the massive turnover in city government leadership due to term limits and the uncharacteristically large field of candidates vying for mayor—creates an unprecedented opportunity for civic engagement to spur long-term change. Voting in both the primary and general elections can ensure that our next elected leaders commit to ending homelessness. New York City needs a leader who will create the structures and systems that prioritize permanent housing over emergency shelter, ultimately making homelessness a rare, brief and nonrecurring experience for New Yorkers. Even with more than 8.4 million people in New York City, each voter’s voice matters. In 2013—the last mayoral election year without an incumbent—only 22% of registered Democratic voters (fewer than 700,000 people) participated in the primary election.

During the primary election on June 22, New Yorkers will have a say in how the City moves forward from the pandemic. Every citywide office is on the ballot, including Mayor. As usual, the mayoral field is crowded. The leading Democratic contenders currently registering in the polls are Eric Adams, Shaun Donovan, Kathryn Garcia, Ray McGuire, Dianne Morales, Scott Stringer, Maya Wiley, and Andrew Yang. In addition, there are two Republican candidates: Fernando Mateo and Curtis Sliwa. Regardless of who wins, Bill de Blasio’s successor will have to deal with the pandemic’s aftermath, as well the unprecedented economic disruption it has wrought on New Yorkers and the City. Among the many policy decisions the new mayor must make will be those affecting transportation—or, as it has been variously referred to by the candidates, the “central nervous system,” “heartbeat,” and “lifeblood” of the City. From busways, bike lanes, and Open Streets to traffic congestion, Vision Zero, aggressive emissions and climate-change goals, the next mayor will shape the way people and goods move around the City for years to come.
