Help us keep Cuomo out of City Hall

  John, Slimeball politician Andrew Cuomo has made it crystal clear that he will do anything to further his political career and stroke his own ego. This includes raking in HUGE donations from several of Donald Trump’s prominent allies just weeks after launching his campaign for ma…

Grow a spine, Andrew
