New York City General Election 2021

Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2021 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

A few resources that helped me decide how to vote in the New York City general election this year:

Candidate ratings by the Judiciary Committee of the Queens County Bar Association and the New York City Bar Association for judicial candidates

Questions around whether judicial candidate Soma Syed supports LGBTQ rights

What the five ballot proposal questions mean and who's endorsing what side of each

Who's on the ballot for mayor besides Adams and Sliwa

And a shout-out to The City for their mayor match quiz which helped me decide my vote in the primary (especially given the ranked-choice option)!
