New York City Councilman Robert Holden (D), who is backing Republican Curtis Sliwa for mayor, accused city officials of manipulating crime statistics to make conditions look better than they are.

Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is taking aim at Democratic mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, accusing him of abusing the city’s rent-stabilization system by living in a $2,300-a-month Astoria apartment while earning $147,000 annually as a state lawmaker. Cuomo, now running as an independent after losing to Mamdani in June’s Democratic primary, says the apartment should go to a low-income family instead.
