Kathryn Garcia doesn’t really do politics. Before she started running for mayor of New York City, beginning with a Zoom announcement on Thursday, she’d never run for office before. Her only campaign experience was making fundraising calls in 1992 for former Democratic U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin when she was a college student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Before 2020, her lone campaign contributions were $100 to former Mayor David Dinkins’ unsuccessful 1993 reelection campaign, and $10 to David Waid, an Assembly aide who dropped out of a 2001 City Council race in Brooklyn. And Garcia has only just now joined Twitter, that forum where so much (too much?) political discussion takes place. “I avoided getting a Twitter account for like my entire life because I thought it was a not nice place,” Garcia told City & State. “And I was told I must have one. I still think it’s not a very nice place.”
A couple and their 2-year-old were kicked off a United Airlines flight Saturday after the child refused to wear a mask.
Jason Korn, the 2019 worst individual landlord, remains in the top spot for the second year in a row after amassing an average of 1,822 violations across 10 buildings on the list.
Williams said that in addition to the what s occurring inside Korn s buildings is the injustice of his attempts to force tenants out.
As the coronavirus continues to devastate the city and with cases rising, he said Korn is currently threatening to evict a group of Crown Heights tenants who have organized a rent strike citing widespread neglect and deplorable conditions.
