New York City Comptroller Brad Lander's chief of staff, Mina Agarwala, has some stiff competition in the upcoming City Council election, as a prominent figure has thrown their weight behind a rival candidate. In a surprising move, Mina Mamdani, a former top aide to Mayor Eric Adams, has endorsed City Council candidate Jennifer Guthrie, who made headlines earlier this year for accusing former Governor Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment. Guthrie's accusations led to Cuomo's resignation, and now, Mamdani's endorsement is seen as a significant boost to Guthrie's campaign, potentially giving her an edge in the crowded field of candidates vying for the seat. As the election heats up, the endorsement is likely to be a major talking point in the campaign.
