I have a simple message to NYC parents: Our Department of Education is ripping you off — and lying about it. We know what it takes to fix our schools, but to make it happen, we need a mayor who doesn’t owe the @uftnyc.bsky.social a thing. My op-ed in @nypost.com:

nypost.com

NYC’s failing schools need a mayor who will take on the selfish teachers union

Repeating the same tired slogans and tinkering around the margins won’t fix our broken education system — but the UFT’s self-interest makes real reform impossible.

New York City needs a mayor, not a social media influencer.

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 13/06/2025

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social can talk all he wants about what he would do as mayor, but he still hasn't explained why he wanted to "dismantle" the "wicked" NYPD. Does he disavow his previous comments? Once again, here are the receipts:

Why is it so hard to get the basics right, like filling a pothole or getting the trains to run on time? The truth is: the city isn’t working. But it can. I am running for mayor to fix what’s broken and deliver real results for all New Yorkers. Fuel this mission by donating today— bit.ly/3SExjtf

We need to make crime illegal again by arresting and punishing repeat offenders. #NYCMayoralDebateWFM

NYC Affordability: "Most of the people on this stage have called for freezing the rent. I want to do one better and drop rents by 20%. To do that, we must unleash the private sector by building a lot more housing, reforming our zoning laws and getting rid of red tape that discourages investment."

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 04/06/2025

Education is personal for me. My parents are teachers. I’ve fought for students for 30 years. As mayor, I’ll fight for your kids. I will be on stage with eight other candidates at the first mayoral debate tonight, discussing the big issues facing our city. You can watch live here:

Every child deserves an excellent education—no matter their ZIP code. That’s not radical. It's just right. If you’re with me, tune in to the first mayoral debate tomorrow evening. I’ll be talking about the big issues facing our city—including education!

Electing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will put the anti-police, anti-Israel and anti-capitalist Democratic Socialists of America in power at City Hall. I am proud to be the only candidate in this race using my platform and resources to warn New Yorkers about the dangers Mamdani poses.

17201

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 03/06/2025

Socialists are at the gate. NYC’s future is on the line. Zohran Mamdani wants to defund the police and push extreme policies. I will protect public safety and keep City Hall focused on results.

I had a fantastic time speaking to Value Invest New York delegates last month. It was an honor to come back, share my vision, and talk about what I plan to accomplish as the next mayor of New York City. Thank Value Invest New York for the opportunity!

Every night that homeless people are sleeping in our parks, streets and subways is a stark reminder of the failure of our city government – to help people who are suffering and to help New Yorkers feel safer and more secure.

We need to be the party of abundance – of growth and prosperity, that can get big things done, fast! Here’s Ezra Klein with an op ed in Sunday’s NYT on how Democrats, while claiming to be fighting for working families, are actually screwing them:

nytimes.com

Opinion | There Is a Liberal Answer to the Trump-Musk Wrecking Ball

Right-wing populism thrives on scarcity. The answer is abundance. But a politics of abundance will work only if Democrats confront where their approach has failed.

Street homelessness is a crisis. We need real solutions to get people off the streets and into stable housing while ensuring safe and healthy communities for all. Go to my website to learn more about my stance on homelessness and the policy I plan on enforcing.

In the toughest times, we find strength in each other. Working in a field hospital during COVID was a reminder that compassion, teamwork, and resilience save lives. Helping one another isn’t just important—it’s essential. #whitneyformayor #whitneyformayor2025

PART 1 "I just saw this on the subway in the middle of the day this week. This man needs help – and our city’s failure to help him (and many others like him) is wrecking quality of life in this city. For example, I talk to so many people, especially women, who won’t ride the subway anymore.

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 10/03/2025

Every New Yorker deserves to live in a safe city, free from harassment and violence, yet we’re going in the wrong direction at an alarming rate. Hate crime incidents between 2019 and 2024 grew by nearly 60%, across every major category, both in the number of hate crime complaints as well as arrests.

000

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 10/03/2025

And it worked: “Developers dumped almost 50,000 rental units on the city in 2023 and 2024, according to Fannie Mae data. That represented a 14% increase in the supply, the biggest on a percentage basis for any major US metro area.

000

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 02/03/2025

PART 8: He’s also been soft on Hamas, jumping in early in the war to demand a ceasefire that would’ve left the terrorists unharmed after their Oct. 7, 2023 atrocities. Nor has he spoken out against the left’s growing public antisemitism in the months since.

000

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 02/03/2025

PART 7: And it’s not just his long record on crime and public safety that Lander needs to live down.

000

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 02/03/2025

PART 6: but he as a City Council member still voted to decriminalize public urination and drinking booze in public, supported not prosecuting fare beaters or shoplifters and backed sanctuary-city insanity including kicking ICE off of Rikers Island.

000

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 02/03/2025

PART 5: Brad can talk about waking up to the “challenges” now obvious “in gun violence and mental health and homelessness, in retail theft and hate violence,”

000

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 02/03/2025

PART 4: Tisch implicitly answered that vow Wednesday morning with a barn-burner of an address making it plain that progressives like Lander are a huge part of the problem on crime.

000

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 02/03/2025

PART 3: Now that fighting crime and disorder is a top issue for voters, Lander rolled out a public safety plan that includes bumping police hiring to 35,000 and vowing to keep NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, if he wins election.

000

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 02/03/2025

PART 2: Excerpt: Ultra-progressive city Comptroller Brad Lander, who once fought to defund the police, claims to have seen the light now that he’s running for mayor; he’s also offering a great price on a bridge down by Front Street.

000

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 02/03/2025

PART 1: I find it comical how many of the career politicians in the race are scrambling to run away from their former far left positions. But voters have memories... Pandering Brad Lander wants New Yorkers to forget his anti-cop, pro-Hamas record (nypost.com/2025/02/26/o...).

PART 7: All of the other candidates are talking a good game about addressing NYC’s housing crisis, but not one of them will have the courage to take on entrenched interests to do something akin to what Austin did. I will.

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 28/02/2025

PART 6: “scaled back rules that limited the height of buildings” “Austin also became the largest city in the US to end parking mandates” Allowed “developers to build as many as three units on lots that were previously restricted to one home” “promoted accessory dwelling units”

PART 3: supply. “After years of inaction, everyone felt the urgency of the moment,” said Zo Qadri, a Democrat who was elected to the city council in 2022. “Housing was the No. 1 issue. It was the lack of affordability.”

PART 2: When rents surged 25% in 2021, instead of dithering and letting loud anti-development NIMBY voices carry the day, as we do, Austin’s leaders leaped into action make sure their city remained affordable. They understood simple supply and demand: to bring prices down, stimulate a lot more -

PART 1: As mayor, my #1 priority will be to catalyze a home/apartment building boom such that the headlines read: “New York City Rents and Home Prices Tumble on Massive Building Spree.” If Austin can do it, why can’t we?

Incoming NYPD recruits will only need 24 college credits, a steep drop from the 60 previously required.

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 26/02/2025

PART 6: But to the credit of this department, they do promote higher education and bend over backwards for its cops and accommodate them to get degrees with various colleges and universities and mostly providing many scholarships as well!👍🏻😊

000

Whitney Tilson @whitneyformayor.com · 26/02/2025

PART 5: I believe you either have what it takes to become a cop or you don’t…degrees are not going to deflect serious harm that is headed your direction when you are working the streets of NYC! There’s nothing better than street smarts.
