JSA2026 NYC Mayoral Endorsement: Backing Curtis Sliwa — With Conditions By Jason S. Arnold, Candidate for Governor of New York (2026) 📍 Published: June 25, 2025 📞 Campaign Contact: (516) 586-0660 🌐 Website: www.JSA2026.com ⸻ As a candidate for Governor of New York, I never intended to step into the NYC 2025 mayoral race. But given the direction this race is heading — and what’s truly at stake — I have no choice but to speak now, clearly and decisively. I’m endorsing Curtis Sliwa for Mayor of New York City. It’s not about party loyalty — it’s about leadership, accountability, and putting the city’s safety and sanity above personal political gain. Curtis has been a fighter for decades. He understands crime prevention, urban decay, and community rebuilding in a way few others do. He’s not beholden to lobbyists, corporations, or political dynasties. He shows up — in the streets, in the news, and in the neighborhoods that others ignore. But if Curtis doesn’t win, I need to be honest with you: I’ll take Andrew Cuomo over Zohran Mamdani every time. Why? Because Zohran Mamdani just recently became a U.S. citizen. I respect immigration. I respect the right to run. But I do not believe someone who only recently earned the rights of citizenship should immediately be given the reins of America’s largest city. This isn’t anti-immigrant — it’s pro-reality. The Mayor of New York isn’t just a manager. It’s a symbol of American resilience, grit, and continuity. That requires deep roots — not recent paperwork. So here’s where I stand: • ✅ Curtis Sliwa is my endorsement. • ⚠️ If he falls short, I’d rather work with Cuomo than see an untested, ideologically extreme newcomer in charge. • ❌ Zohran Mamdani may be qualified on paper, but New York City needs more than a résumé — it needs experience, loyalty, and wisdom. New Yorkers are about to make a decision that impacts the whole country. And as someone who hopes to lead this state starting in 2026, I want you to know where I stand before the general election begins. This isn’t about politics. It’s about principle. — Jason S.
