A long list of New York’s Black pastors and politicians endorsed former governor Andrew M. Cuomo in the run-up to the city’s Democratic primary for mayor last month. But it wasn’t surprising that freelance journalist Anthony Conwright and many other younger Black New Yorkers ignored those endorsements and chose state Assembly member Zohran Mamdani instead. Conwright backed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) during the 2016 and 2020 Democratic primaries and voted for Kamala Harris in last year’s general election but found her campaign wanting.
