John,
A question from a recent episode of The Daily really stuck with us:
Who will cut a deal – and who will fight for what’s right?
When Andrew Cuomo was governor, he cut a $958 million deal with Elon Musk to build a solar factory in Buffalo. Cuomo promised New Yorkers it would bring thousands of jobs and spark a green revolution.
We got scammed. The jobs never came. The factory never took off. And Elon Musk? He pocketed the money and walked away.
It was one of the worst corporate subsidy disasters in state history – and Cuomo greenlit the whole thing.
Now, Cuomo’s running for mayor promising to protect New York City from Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
But his record tells a different story. Cuomo didn’t fight Musk. He funded him. He didn’t resist Trump. He cozied up to him and his cronies.
Meanwhile, Brad Lander has actually stood up to both of them.
When Trump and Musk stole $80 million in FEMA money from New York City, Brad fought back immediately – holding an emergency press conference, demanding answers, and refusing to back down. And when Trump’s new executive order gutted Social Security access for 1.3 million New Yorkers, Brad didn’t just tweet about it – he mobilized a plan to fight it.
Brad doesn’t cut shady deals with billionaires. He fights for what’s right – and he fights for New Yorkers. Chip in $10 today to help Brad Lander defeat Cuomo and become the next Mayor of New York City.
