The Issue: Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo joining the race for mayor of New York City.
With all politicians, there will be some who agree and some who don’t (“Here we Cuo again, New York,” March 2).
As always, you need to take a look at the bigger picture.
Right now we have a corrupt mayor who is the worst since Rudy Giuliani.
Mayor Adams, who is a Democrat, is willing to lower himself to a Republican if President Trump will help him out.
Adams has proven he is a sellout who will do whatever to save himself.
Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo had his imperfections as governor, but I would vote for him above anyone who is running.

Cuomo, the politician who chose to stick highly contagious ill people into nursing homes instead of hospitals where they should’ve stayed, wants to be the mayor of New York City.
He thinks we have short memories.
Here’s what I remember: My aunt was one of Cuomo’s victims.
She didn’t get a second chance.
Why should he?

Cuomo — the guy that gave us cashless bail and other policies that prevent upholding our laws, a sanctuary state, a refusal to cooperate with ICE and other federal law-enforcement agencies, a parole board that lets cop-killers go free, the Green Light law, COVID-19 deaths and Gov. Hochul — wants to become mayor.
Give me a break.
Cuomo only wants to be mayor so he has a platform to run for president.

The disgraced former governor of New York wants to be the next mayor of the Big Apple.
As his tenure in Albany shows, Cuomo is an unethical debaucher of the worst kind and is responsible for many deaths during the pandemic.
He does not deserve the high honor of being elected mayor.
Please, Andy, go away.

It’s time to save New York City from Andrew Cuomo’s comeback.
This vindictive guy has obviously calculated that he can win the primary and become our next mayor.
But his early poll numbers are ephemeral.
Remember, catchy labels and sound bites swing campaigns.
Here is a suggestion to thwart power-starved Andy: Call him “COVID-Killer Cuomo.”

Cuomo’s unsolicited, extraordinary leadership through much of the pandemic completely outweighs his faults, both actual and those of which he was merely accused.

I hate to say it, but Cuomo will probably be mayor of New York City.
Common sense and intelligence stops at the voting booth for many New Yorkers.
We know his history of power hunger and ethical problems.
He set New York back years.
Don’t be fooled: The only thing that Cuomo has learned and changed since are his voting tactics.

Hopefully all in New York City are echoing the same sentiments that Sean Newman has expressed about the self-serving former Gov. Cuomo (“ ‘Doesn’t deserve’ endorse after COVID,” March 2).
Many seniors died from Cuomo’s edict on shipping pandemic patients to nursing homes, knowing that there were other options.
Now this creep has crawled out of his lair to toss his hat into the mayoral race.
New Yorkers have been asleep at the wheel for way too long.
As Fredo’s brother reappears, it’s time to wake up and consider some real change — maybe a conservative?

If Andrew Cuomo truly wants to be a mayor, he should try Los Angeles or Chicago.
His level of incompetence would fit right in.
He would also be doing long-suffering New Yorkers a huge favor.
Tom Mueller
New Rochelle
I don’t know what’s worse: The fact that Cuomo has decided he is going to be the one to “save the city” as mayor, or that he is well ahead in preliminary polls.
The sheep will never learn.
