Once a street patrol leader who took on crime with his “Magnificent 13," Sliwa now hopes to become the next mayor of New York City. Here's everything to know about him.

The Republican candidate for New York City mayor has been aggressively ramping up his campaign, even if it’s to the benefit of Zohran Mamdani.

Curtis Sliwa says he’s charging into the final stretch of New York City’s mayoral race like Braveheart — confident, defiant and ready to die on his sword for the city he loves.

Most Trump voters are sticking with Sliwa, with 66 percent saying they would support the Republican candidate in next week’s election, according to the Emerson poll. But Cuomo, a former Democratic governor running as an independent, is winning over 32 percent of them.

The final Atlas poll of the race puts Mamdani at 43.9%, Cuomo at 39.4% and Sliwa far back at 15.5% — yet also shows Cuomo at 49.7% vs. Mamdani’s 44.1% (with 5.2% opting not to vote) if they were the only two candidates.

The first thing is I have a legacy with the Jewish community here. During the Crown Heights riots [in 1991], the mayor at that time, David Dinkins, told the police to stand down. The only people that the Lubavitch could depend on were me and the Guardian Angels on the corner of Kingston and President.

Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa criticizes Mamdani and Cuomo while outlining his mayoral platform focused on affordability, education reform and ending corruption in New York City.

I T’S EVERY New Yorker’s lament: the city is full of yellow cabs, except when you really need one. And so, when Curtis Sliwa saw an empty one near his apartment just before dawn one morning in 1992, he felt like he had “hit the lottery”.

The Republican New York City mayoral candidate may be polling last in the race, but on TikTok he's found many fans.

A number of people have asked Sliwa to drop out of the New York City mayor's race, but the Republican nominee says he's in it to win it.
