Guardian Angels Founder Curtis Sliwa Wins GOP primary in NYC Mayor's Race
Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa won the GOP mayoral primary in New York City on Tuesday, though he faces low odds of winning November’s general election. Sliwa was declared the winner over restaurateur Fernando Mateo with an over 40-point lead with nearly 70 percent of votes tallied. Both candidates waged bitter campaigns centered around support for law enforcement amid a rise in violent crime in the city. Sliwa, who founded a group of volunteer crime fighters without any legal authorization, cast himself as uniquely qualified to reverse the spike and said he would hire 3,000 more police officers. Sliwa, also a radio host, won the endorsement of Rudy Giuliani, a personal lawyer for former President Trump who was elected New York City’s mayor as a Republican in 1993.
