NYC Mayoral Candidates Court the City’s Jewish Vote Ahead of July 22 Primaries and Nov. 2 General Election

New York City has approximately 1.5 million Jewish residents — and Jews are estimated to be about 13 percent of voters in the city (60% of them registered Democrats). The Jews of New York have always been a highly sought-after voting group; that hasn’t changed as the upcoming 2021 party primaries approach. Of course, with the possible exception of the city’s large ultra-Orthodox communities, Jewish New Yorkers are not a monolithic voting bloc.
 
Quote: “Beyond their solutions to this seemingly intractable economic crisis, the mayoral candidates are also being asked their positions on issues on the minds of Jewish voters, who constitute roughly 13% of New York City’s electorate. From public funding for yeshivot and private Jewish schools to the opening of synagogues during corona restrictions, there have been ongoing headlines about Jewish communities over the last year.”
