All ranktheslate.nyc candidates (plus Stringer) support a rent-freeze. Who doesn't support a rent-freeze? Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo is landlords' favorite candidate because he wants to raise your rent. PS – kudos to @tenantbloc.bsky.social for making rent-freeze a central position of the mayor's race.
Photo of the 7 Democratic candidates for NYC mayor participating in tonight's candidate debate (hosted by Spectrum / NY1). The moderator had just asked the candidates to raise their hand if they support freezing the rent for rent-stabilized apartments.

Five (5) candidates raised their hand in support of a rent-freeze:
• Adrienne Adams
• Brad Lander
• Zohran Mamdani
• Zellnor Myrie
• Scott Stringer

Two (2) candidates did not raise their hand, indicating they do NOT support a rent-freeze:
• Andrew Cuomo
• Whitney Tilson

NEW: Since February, I've followed @tenantbloc.bsky.social's campaign to win a rent freeze in NYC. Now, Zohran Mamdani is on the verge of a victory that would deliver one. Here's a first look into how organizers brought over 20,000 tenants into Mamdani's coalition. inthesetimes.com/article/zohr...

In NY, homeowners are 2x as likely to vote as tenants. Unless there are pro-tenant policies on the ballot, that is, like a rent freeze. In the mayoral race @tenantbloc.bsky.social tried to awaken the untapped potential of tenants as a political bloc. Read @thomasbirm.bsky.social on this strategy ⬇️

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

NEW: We are expanding rent stabilization across upstate & LI! Tenants are half the state. We need affordable rents NOW. A new bill from State Senate Housing Chair Kavanagh and Assemblymember @sarahana.bsky.social will end costly, landlord-rigged barriers to rent stabilization.

We're out ALL OVER today talking to rent stabilized voters and reminding them that the Mayor controls the rents! We need ALL MAYORAL CANDIDATES to commit to a rent freeze! There are 2.4 million rent stabilized tenants -- we make New York New York, and we deserve to stay.

70% of New Yorkers rent. We'll be voting for a mayor who works for us -- not real estate. On NY1 this morning previewing today's Mayoral Forum.

Tenants are half NY state - but wealthy landlords and developers control our homes, neighborhoods, and even our democracy. It's time to take back the state for tenants. Join me and @housingjustice4all.bsky.social as we launch a powerful new organization on Monday. RSVP: hj4a.org/Dec9

Zellnor Myrie's platform offers nothing for tenants struggling to stay in their homes right now. Even worse, it undermines rent stabilization, giving landlords more ways to raise rents and push families out. 70% of New Yorkers rent — if you want our votes, freeze the rent.
