EDITOR’S NOTE

JON LENTZ Editor-in-chief

THE RISE OF THE new coronavirus has upended American society, not least of all our political system. Elected officials have pivoted to curtailing the spread of COVID-19 and protecting the lives and health of as many individuals as possible. State-level restrictions have forced millions of people to stay home, and the federal government has been scrambling to deal with the economic fallout as entire industries have been all but shut down. While it’s certainly not politics as usual, politicians do have other matters to attend to. In this week’s magazine, we list nearly a dozen key policy issues that state lawmakers could address this session – even though it’s unclear if they’ll resume legislating at all. And while some elections have been postponed, state and federal legislative candidates are still running for office, with a primary date in June. In this week’s cover story, City & State’s Jeff Coltin, Annie McDonough and Zach Williams explore how campaigns are being waged in this new digital environment, in which there’s no door-knocking, no handshaking and certainly no kissing of babies.

“THE WORST IS OVER”

Gov. Andrew Cuomo started the week by saying that “the worst is over” in New York’s battle against the coronavirus. Trends continued to suggest that new hospitalizations are stabilizing, rather than increasing. And while the number of daily deaths remains incredibly high,

April 20, 2020

fluctuating between roughly 600 and 800 people per day, the rate of increase has flattened. But Cuomo said this does not mean that the state can loosen its social distancing measures yet. Despite some positive developments in the data, if people begin taking the restrictions less seriously, the state could see a new surge of cases,

hospitalizations and deaths, reversing any progress that’s already been made. Cuomo extended his executive order that closed all nonessential businesses and implemented bans on all social gatherings through May 15. It also extends school closures until then after a spat the governor had with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who declared city schools closed for the rest of the school year. Cuomo also issued new executive orders requiring employers to provide face masks to essential workers, and mandating that New Yorkers wear face coverings when in public places where social distancing is difficult, like grocery stores and public transit. In New York City, de Blasio announced that he is canceling all

permitted events for the month of May and will make a decision about events in June in the coming days.

WHO REOPENS THE COUNTRY?

ANDREW CUOMO, ROCK STAR How does it feel ... to be on the cover of Rolling Stone? Gov. Andrew Cuomo graced the May cover of music’s biggest magazine, in a show of just how far-reaching his coronavirus-era popularity is. But like any rock star, Cuomo has his fair share of detractors, too. He may want to reach out to his pal Billy Joel for some advice about handling groupies and haters alike.

“How does one respond to a death cult?” – Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi on a protest outside the state Capitol against social distancing requirements, via Twitter

Cuomo announced a working group with Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania and Delaware to figure out how and when the region should begin reopening its economy. Cuomo said that working with neighboring states made the most sense since the decision in one state would impact what happens in the others. He said that expanding testing capacity is paramount. In that vein, de Blasio announced the city would begin producing and purchasing up to 100,000 test kits per week to bolster that capacity. However, President Donald Trump insisted that he had “total” authority to reopen the nation’s economy, even though individual states made the decisions to shut down, and said he wanted to have the country open by May 1. Constitutional experts have since said that Trump’s claims were inaccurate, and Cuomo criticized the president as attempting to act like a king. Trump’s assertion was particularly surprising since he has in the past said states were

responsible for responding to COVID-19. However, Trump seemed to step back from his original claim and said that he would work with governors toward reopening through new guidelines, while Cuomo said he has no interest in fighting with the president.

DE BLASIO RELEASES A “WARTIME” BUDGET As New York City faces a budget shortfall in the billions of dollars due to the coronavirus crisis, de Blasio released what he called a “wartime” budget. The spending plan is $6 billion smaller than the one he originally released in January. It includes over $2 billion in cuts to city services – public pools will be closed for the summer and garbage collection

will be less frequent. De Blasio later added that city beaches will likely be closed for the summer. Funding for first lady Chirlane McCray’s mental health initiative, ThriveNYC, is being slashed by more than $20 million while the city Department of Education will see a 3% decrease in cash in the upcoming year, which adds up to an $827 million cut. After growing the city budget year after year, the new proposal from de Blasio represents the first time during his tenure that he is imposing spending cuts of this scale. The city’s Independent Budget Office is projecting that New York City may face its worst recession since the 1970s, with nearly 500,000 jobs lost over 12 months and $9.7 billion in lost tax revenues for the next fiscal year.

Without federal funding, NYC doesn’t stand a chance

On Tuesday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that the city will be purchasing 50,000 coronavirus tests per week from Indiana. Local labs will also begin manufacturing 50,000 tests per week for the city in May. While this represents progress, the city would still need federal assistance to actually create a sustainable testing infrastructure. During a press conference, the mayor said “the kind of level of testing we would need – really widespread – the federal government is the only place where we could get the impact we need.” New York City Councilman Mark Levine told City & State that hundreds of thousands of people would need to be tested each day in order to contain the virus. “That (wide-scale testing) is going to require a huge infusion of resources from the federal government and most importantly assistance in securing the materials (needed) for the testing kits,” he said. The city and state have consistently asked President Donald Trump to supply New York with the funds and resources it needs to contain the COVID-19 outbreak by invoking the Defense Production Act. This would allow the president to direct certain

factories to produce valuable resources needed for testing, such as swabs, testing chemicals and personal protective equipment. There’s currently a nationwide shortage of testing supplies as well as a backlog of tests that have yet to be processed – making the need for federal intervention paramount. More medical workers would also be needed to conduct COVID-19 tests in the city. But the city’s pool of medical workers continues to dwindle as more and more workers contract the virus from infected patients. De Blasio has already warned that 45,000 workers may be needed to treat COVID-19 patients by the end of April. “There needs to be billions (in the next federal stimulus package) for staffing testing centers, building out testing centers and potentially even for hiring staff for contact tracing,” Levine said. However, the city will need more than testing supplies to begin lifting social distancing measures, Dr. Syra Madad, an expert on pathogens at New York City Health + Hospitals, told City & State. Other factors that need to be considered are “the number of hospital admissions, people in (the) ICU and things like that.” - Amanda Luz Henning Santiago

SOCIALLY DISTANCED SPORTS TO GIVE THE GOVERNOR HIS FIX.

SURE, HANDSHAKES, HAIRCUTS and eating out were all great, but the one thing Gov. Andrew Cuomo is really missing during the coronavirus quarantine? Sports. “I don’t know why we can’t be watching it on television,” he said during an April 14 interview with “CBS This Morning.” “Why can’t you have sports games with no audiences? To start the sports and the entertainment so people have something to watch and follow.” So put away your Bills jersey and dust off your baseball bat – we have some ideas for socially distanced, Cuomo-approved televised “sports.”

BY JEFF COLTIN

ZIPLINING

Is it a sport? No, but the whole point of these things is to socially distance. Stick a GoPro on somebody’s head and it’s great entertainment.

MOTORCYCLE RACING

A sport where wearing bandanas over your mouth is the norm could thrive right now. Just please limit speeds to 25 mph so nobody ends up in the ER.

FISHING

Tigers can catch COVID-19, but probably not fish, so let’s bring the governor’s favorite pastime back to the airwaves.

SNOWMOBILE RACING H-O-R-S-E

An actual NBA game is out of the question – even if all the players have been tested, somehow – but the classic one-on-one game is fine, if players bring their own balls.

No way could germs make it through the helmets. And while it’s too warm in New York, the pandemic has mostly avoided Alaska.

A Q&A with Congresswoman

It’s been terrifying for families in Queens sending their loved ones to work every day with no protection.

GRACE MENG

KEVIN P. COUGHLIN, DARREN MCGEE, JUDY SANDERS/OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR; SASHA MASLOV

What have you been hearing from your hospitals and constituents in Queens, which continues to be one of the hardest-hit areas in the country? Honestly, it’s really heartbreaking. That’s not just information that you and I are getting as New Yorkers. Statistics about Queens are on CNN, they’re on national news networks every single day. We have been in touch with hospitals since day one. But as the surge was rising, and rising very quickly, I think around week two and week three, we were hearing from a lot of everyday workers – nurses and doctors who worked

inside hospitals, nursing homes, transit workers – who were telling us that they didn’t have enough (personal protective equipment) and that they were terrified. I think that they are in a slightly better place today, but it’s been terrifying for families in Queens sending their loved ones to work every day with no protection. Rep. Lee Zeldin appealed to the White House and got personal protective equipment quickly to Suffolk County. Have you had any sort of similar success for Queens? I wrote a letter to FEMA,

to President Trump. I want to know where the PPE is. And I want to know where they’re going around the country because I have heard stories like the ones you just mentioned. And for me, I’m still waiting to get my response from President Trump and from FEMA. I want to know where the PPE is going and what sort of criteria and protocols they’re using in assessing where the PPE goes. I literally spend most of my day, at least the first two weeks, trying to and then delivering PPE to local constituents. Especially

in diverse immigrant communities, they’re unable to access a lot of these products. So I have families who don’t even have a thermometer for example. So there are families I believe that are going to the ER, for example, for no reason. So yes, I would love to know how FEMA was distributing the PPE. From what you’re seeing and hearing, is there cause for some cautious optimism? I see, as everyone else sees, the numbers are sort of plateauing, even though there are still a high number of deaths. So I do think that we take every day one step at a

time. But I will say that I am still concerned. I’m not so much concerned today about what we are hearing. I’m more concerned about what we are not hearing and the information that we’re not getting. So yes, we see the numbers at the hospitals, but what about the people who are afraid to go to the hospitals? What about someone who might be infected and is living in an overcrowded situation, or is living as many American families do in multigenerational families where someone in their family is going to work and is an essential worker and may be infected? We don’t know if they are getting the help they need.

WHERE’S WASHINGTON Congress is packed with New Yorkers. Why are they failing their state? by B E N A D L E R

EW YORK DOESN’T lack for representation in Washington, D.C., although sometimes it may feel that way to New Yorkers. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has complained about how the federal government shortchanged New York in the $2 trillion COVID-19 relief bill that Congress passed late last month. While the bulk of the law is devoted to offering loans and subsidies to businesses, and aid to individuals through stimulus checks and expanded unemployment benefits, the state got shafted in two crucial realms: direct aid to states and to hospitals. The result, thus far, is the continued spread of the coronavirus and hundreds of deaths per day. And it remains an open question whether, or how much, New York’s representatives in Congress will be able to secure necessary funding going forward. But an examination of the details of how the bill was written, how it has been implemented and how the next round of COVID-19 relief is being negotiated makes one thing clear: The politician from New York who deserves the lion’s share of the blame isn’t any member of the state’s congressional delegation, it’s President Donald Trump. To be sure, Congress came up short for New York too. At the time the recent bill passed, the Empire Center for Public Policy’s Bill Hammond wrote, “Although New York is taking the brunt of the coronavirus pandemic – with 43 percent of the nation’s known cases and 40 percent of the deaths – the state is due to receive only 5 percent of a $150 billion ‘relief fund’ established in Washington.” That’s because the funds were allocated by assigning a certain minimum amount to each state and then the rest based on population. A state’s COVID-19 caseload wasn’t considered at all. The aid to states was meant to help shore up state budgets that have been impacted in two ways by COVID-19: direct state spending on combating the pandemic, which Cuomo has said will cost New York several billion dollars, and declining tax revenues because of the recession that the virus and its attendant business shutdowns have triggered. State Budget Director Robert Mujica estimates New York’s revenue shortfall will be between $10 billion and $15 billion. Since the economic downturn is nationwide, it makes sense that funds to ameliorate state budget deficits would be apportioned by population, but the funds for pandemic response logically would have been based on caseload. Kaiser Health News reported that $30 billion for direct grants to hospitals in the new law would be distributed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services “according to their historical share of revenue from the Medicare program for seniors – not according to their coronavirus burden.” States with few COVID-19 cases per capita,

April 20, 2020

City & State New York

including Minnesota, Nebraska and Montana, get more than $300,000 per reported case, while New York would receive only $12,000 per case. This comes at a time when New York City-area hospitals and other health care facilities are overwhelmed with COVID-19 cases and remain underresourced. Politico reported that “hospitals across New York City are still scrambling for life-saving equipment and protective gear,” while nurses “continue to bemoan a shortage of protective gear like gowns, masks and other face shields.” The New York Times reported, “In New York, nursing home administrators … were unable, they said, to have residents tested to isolate the virus or to get protective equipment to keep workers from getting sick or transmitting the virus to residents.” New York City has even started to round up ponchos as a substitute for hospital gowns. New York continues to lack the capacity to test everyone with possible COVID-19 symptoms. New York City recently announced it faced a shortage of COVID-19 testing nasal swabs so severe that it could run out within days. Mayor Bill de Blasio said that the federal failure to provide testing resources had forced the city to start producing its own tests. Why, months into this crisis, don’t nurses have enough protective equipment? How is it possible that the federal government has devoted an unprecedented $2 trillion to address the coronavirus, and yet these conditions persist? Despite the malapportionment of the U.S. Senate, New York – the United States’ fourth-most populous state – has significant power in Congress. New York’s senior senator is Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer. There are 27 members of the House of Representatives from New York, including Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the fifth-ranking member of the lower chamber’s Democratic majority, and Rep. Nita Lowey, chairwoman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee. Other prominent New York representatives include the well-known and outspoken Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, the committee chairs Reps. Eliot Engel, Carolyn Maloney and Jerry Nadler, and left-wing millennial icon Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. So, have all of these representatives failed their state? Arguably, especially on the state aid funding formula, they have failed to adequately protect their constituents’ interests. Both Congress and the White House also clearly suffer from distorted priorities, chiefly a commitment to putting the economic recovery before defeating the disease that has caused the downturn. As Politico’s Michael Grunwald noted, former Obama White House economic advis-

er Austan Goolsbee likens this approach to “keeping warm by burning money instead of fixing the furnace.” But the larger answer to why New York has been left to suffer is that the Trump administration deliberately allows it to, even in defiance of the law the president recently signed. The distribution of personal protective equipment is not being centrally controlled by the federal government, as it normally is in a disaster. Instead, the Trump administration has decided to leave the process up to private medical supply distribution companies that often are price gouging as states compete for scarce resources. Even supplies that are procured by the federal government are turned over to distribution companies. Those companies then mark them up to take a profit and sell the gloves, masks and so on through their normal distribution channels. The result? A hospital in a region with hardly any cases gets a steady supply, while there is nowhere near enough of a surge in areas like

Pascrell of New Jersey complained “failed to consider congressional intent.” But what is the recourse? A lawsuit, which would take months to resolve? Congressional hearings, which the Trump administration would stonewall? One power Democrats in Congress do have is appropriations, and one point of leverage that they have over Trump is the ability to reject further business aid to bolster the economy. Privately, congressional Democrats say they intend to get New York its fair share of money in subsequent COVID-19 spending bills. “There’s no bookend on this yet,” said one source close to Senate negotiations, who requested anonymity to discuss ongoing negotiations. The $150 billion in aid to states wasn’t included in the original Senate Republican coronavirus bill. Schumer and his House colleagues got that added, including almost $4 billion for the struggling Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Senate Democrats proposed an additional COVID-19 bill

MINNESOTA, NEBRASKA AND MONTANA GET MORE THAN $300,000 PER REPORTED CASE. NEW YORK WOULD RECEIVE ONLY $12,000 PER CASE. New York City and its suburbs, where severe outbreaks of COVID-19 mean hospitals and nursing homes are going through them at a much faster rate. Supply chain experts say Trump should have used the Defense Production Act to ensure the sufficient production and rational distribution of protective gear, ventilators and tests. But this is an executive branch power, which Congress can do little to control. Schumer sent Trump a letter on April 2 calling on the president to take control of the supply chain and direct resources where they are most needed, but Trump remains recalcitrant. One senior Democratic congressional staffer from New York, who asked for anonymity to speak frankly, noted that any effort to force Trump to use the DPA would raise constitutional questions about the separation of powers. “You’d get bogged down in a debate over whether Congress even has the legal authority to force the president to issue a specific order under the DPA,” the staffer said. It’s a similar story with HHS distributing hospital aid without regard to where the COVID-19 cases actually are. That’s an administrative decision, which U.S. Sens. Cory Booker and Bob Menendez and Rep. Bill

that would have provided more aid to hospitals and states, including $16 billion for New York state. Republicans, who want instead to only fund $250 billion in additional loans to small businesses, shot it down. Some commentators argued for Congress to include requirements that Trump distribute medical aid where it’s needed in the last coronavirus bill, or in the next one. But congressional insiders scoff at the notion that Trump’s subservient Senate Republican majority would pass a bill forcing him to do anything he opposes. Besides that, there’s the question of whether writing a bill micromanaging the White House response and seeing it implemented would happen fast enough, when just getting Trump to take action would be faster. While Schumer’s entreaties to Trump have been largely unheeded, the administration has sporadically come through for New York. For instance, it responded to an emergency request for hand sanitizer and face masks for the NYPD within a day. “The administrative push works much faster than legislative efforts,” said the source close to the Senate negotiations. “You can’t just think with a legislator’s mind, you have to use a big toolkit.”

NOT ALL THE GOVERNOR’S MEN Cuomo says it’s his way or the highway – and he’s losing patience with anyone who disagrees. by R E B E C C A C . L E W I S

URING THE OUTBREAK of COVID-19, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has consolidated his power more than ever before – and he doesn’t easily suffer local officials who step out of line. The governor has unilaterally imposed a stay-at-home order that closed nonessential businesses and coordinated the transfer of equipment from one locality to another. He has been running the response to the coronavirus pandemic almost single-handedly, with little competition or input from the state Legislature. Cuomo has long relished the broad powers granted to New York governors, and governors throughout the country are seeing their powers expanded because of the extended emergency. “This is a command situation,” said Gerald Benjamin, director of the Benjamin Center for Public Policy Initiatives at SUNY New Paltz. “It demands directive behavior, and he is suited to that.” But this assertiveness, which has drawn widespread praise from the media, fellow elected officials and average New Yorkers, has brought him into conflict with some local government executives. And some experts question Cuomo’s broad assertions that only the state possesses certain powers and that local governments cannot do

many things, such as manage their own school calendar, without his approval. Cuomo’s leadership style has previously caused some friction with local leaders, most notably New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio. The pair have famously feuded for almost the entirety of de Blasio’s tenure. Even a massive public health emergency hasn’t changed that. “In many ways, it’s exacerbated the situation,” Baruch College political science professor Doug Muzzio said. Cuomo apparently believes that uniform messaging to the public is more important than ever, so he has even less tolerance for any contradictions. Most local leaders seem to have fallen in line behind Cuomo, with little public dissonance between the state and local governments. De Blasio appears to be the most notable exception. When Cuomo announced downstate school closures on March 15, he did so with the executives of Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties, all of whom are Cuomo allies. Despite Cuomo also saying New York City schools must close along with the three neighboring suburban counties, de Blasio was not part of the call. When de Blasio proposed a shelter-inplace order for New York City on March 17, Cuomo dismissed the idea out of hand, adding that the city would not have the au-

thority. On March 18, Cuomo signed an executive order preventing localities from issuing their own emergency orders without state approval, apparently in an attempt to keep de Blasio from instituting a shelterin-place order. Just days later, the governor announced the “New York State on Pause” executive order, a shelter-in-place order by another name for the entire state. There was no mention of de Blasio’s prior suggestion on the need for more strict social distancing measures, despite the similarities. Muzzio said that de Blasio and Cuomo have always competed for control in the state’s largest city, with the governor often swooping in to either overrule city action, as in the case of a citywide plastic bag fee in 2017, or taking the lead and the credit for de Blasio’s initiatives, like the $15 minimum wage. Now is no different. “There’s something in the DNA of both players that it just infuriates them,” Muzzio said. “I tend to think that (Cuomo) just simply likes working with (the suburban county executives), dislikes working with de Blasio and gives him a minor nose-thumbing.” Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi told City & State that neither politics nor personal feuds played any role in the executive order limiting local emergency powers, but rather simply the recognition of the need

Cuomo shot down de Blasio’s shelter-inplace idea, only to issue a similar order days later.

for unity. “Yes, people started to make their own policies and it wasn’t working,” Azzopardi said by email. “This public health emergency is no time for small politics or breathless palace intrigue – we don’t have that luxury.” The de Blasio administration did not return a request for comment. Cuomo may like working with most suburban county executives, who tend to be Democrats in Cuomo’s moderate mold, but not all of them. Rockland County Executive Ed Day, a Republican, complained that Cuomo had tied his hands and didn’t provide the county with the ability to enforce state mandates as the number of COVID-19 cases rose. Day said that without the ability to issue local emergency orders, which Cuomo effectively took away from county leaders with his March 18 executive order, local police did not have the power of law to issue fines or other penalties to those violating state social distancing mandates. The Cuomo administration insisted localities had that authority, and asserted that Day was simply playing politics. Day spokesman John Lyons said that after the state rejected an emergency order that Rockland County submitted to the state for approval to explicitly give local police that power, the county received clarification from the

Cuomo administration on enforcement authority, allowing police to take action. Publicly, at least, other county executives in hard-hit areas have not experienced similar issues regarding enforcement. Westchester County Executive George Latimer, a Democrat, told City & State that his county never felt there was any question about local police authority to enforce the state executive orders. He saw the value in Cuomo’s decision to limit local emergency powers and agreed that statewide and regional decisions make more sense than individual policies. The state has since rejected another proposed emergency order from Day, who sought the authority to require grocery stores and pharmacies to limit the number of customers allowed in. Anyone who has seen a sign from their local government on the wall of a restaurant limiting its capacity would assume that a city or county has this power, especially during a public health emergency. Normally, it would. But the March 18 executive order from Cuomo limiting the emergency authority of localities prevents counties from issuing additional public health safety rules without state approval. Lyons said the order was instead adapted into new guidelines from the state Department of Agriculture and Mar-

kets, adding that the state is becoming more responsive to local requests. More recently, de Blasio announced that New York City schools would remain closed for the rest of the school year, beyond the April 29 date the state had mandated. Immediately, Cuomo said the decision was simply the mayor’s “opinion” and that de Blasio had no authority to make decisions about schools. The Cuomo administration pointed to the March 16 executive order from the governor closing schools statewide as giving only the governor the power over when they may reopen. Roderick Hills Jr., a law professor at New York University, questioned that interpretation. State law gives the New York City schools chancellor the authority to shut down city schools during an emergency. City Hall doesn’t need the governor to approve every time it wants to order a snow day, for example. Cuomo never explicitly suspended that particular section of the law. Hills said that it would be easy for Cuomo to suspend it and overrule the city’s decision on schools, but he is uncertain as to whether the governor was legally correct in saying that the city no longer has any authority, or was instead trying to assert dominance over de Blasio with something of a threat. The mayor’s office reportedly did notify the governor of the decision until shortly before de Blasio made the announcement, which may have provoked an even more aggressive response than usual from Cuomo. The governor’s reaction and assertion of his executive power also caused confusion for city parents looking for a degree of certainty about what the rest of the year holds. After all, the mayor was going further than what the state currently mandates, not attempting to roll it back. Given that the state’s pause order has been extended until May 15, and that epidemiologists predict months, if not years, of continued social distancing, it seems likely that Cuomo will extend school closures again. Still, some political observers felt that Cuomo’s reaction to de Blasio was appropriate. Lawrence Levy, executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University, said that at this time, Cuomo is rightly the person in charge, and it only makes sense that local leaders follow his lead, as most others in the state have done. “He is the overarching official in the state,” Levy said. “If a local official decides to go their own way without checking in with the state or getting approval, why should the onus be on Andrew Cuomo to make nice?”

F ANYONE COULD recreate Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s shocking 2018 upset, it would be Jessica González-Rojas. Like Ocasio-Cortez before her, González-Rojas is a Latina challenging an older, moderate white man who took office years ago. Assemblyman Michael DenDekker, this race’s Joe Crowley, is a six-term Democrat representing Queens neighborhoods like Jackson Heights that lie entirely within what is now AOC’s district. González-Rojas has sharp branding, nabbed an endorsement from the Working Families Party and nearly matched DenDekker’s fundraising. Heck, González-Rojas and Ocasio-Cortez are even alumnae of the same school, Boston University. And of course, JGR has her own three-letter nickname. To some, a primary victory might have seemed preordained. Then the pandemic hit. In a district that has suffered some of the worst effects from the coronavirus, González-Rojas, the former executive di-

rector of the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health, had to retool her campaign for our new, socially distanced reality. She’s focusing almost exclusively on the health crisis and has hosted frequent webinars. Instead of calling to ask for votes, she’s calling voters to ask how the campaign can help them. Her transition to digital campaigning was quick, but it hasn’t gone off without a hitch, González-Rojas told City & State. Relying on Zoom for virtual events does come with its own set of security concerns, though the campaign has luckily avoided any “Zoom bombings” so far. Then there’s the matter of the digital divide, and the fact that many lower-income voters in the district lack access to the internet. “As a candidate who wants to hear people’s story one on one and engage with folks and really elevate those experiences as part of the solutions I want to bring to Albany, it is hard to not be able to knock on doors,” González-Rojas said.

Despite the rising death toll and the sputtering economy in New York, which has seen more COVID-19 cases then anywhere else in the country, the state is still scheduled to hold primary elections on Tuesday, June 23. Voting is more important than ever, González-Rojas said, but “in some ways you’re competing with the urgency of the virus. … People may not be as attentive to the election.” That’s a serious issue when you’re trying to introduce yourself to voters for the first time. And González-Rojas is not alone – not in the state, and not even in her own primary race, in which two other Democrats are also challenging DenDekker. That’s just one splash of New York’s influx of primary challenges to House members and state legislators. Indeed, progressives were hoping to build on a string of stunning upsets in the previous election cycle – not only Ocasio-Cortez’s victory over Crowley, but the ouster of a number of moderate state Sen-

ate Democrats – with an influx of House hopefuls and challengers targeting middle-of-the-road incumbents in the Assembly. Yet early on, there were signs that incumbents would fare better this year. For one thing, they wouldn’t be taken by surprise the way Crowley was. For another thing, increasingly crowded primaries were likely to reduce the chance of an individual challenger capturing enough votes to unseat an incumbent. But now, the most significant factor protecting sitting lawmakers and hobbling inexperienced newcomers is the coronavirus. The pandemic has altered almost everything about running for office. As campaigns go fully digital and as anxious constituents turn to elected officials for assistance, many of the changes – from crowded ballots to

City & State New York

fundraising shortfalls to not being able to knock on doors – are bolstering the ability of incumbents to hold onto power. As Steve Kramer, a political consultant whose clients include both incumbents and challengers in dozens of federal and state races, put it: “The establishment is back.”

EFORE MARCH, CANDIDATES would talk about housing, taxes, public safety, you name it. Now, the coronavirus isn’t just one thing to talk about – it’s the only thing. “It’s COVID all day every day,” Rep. Yvette Clarke told City & State. Clarke recalled her first time running for the New York City Council, when the primary day was on Sept. 11, 2001. The city rescheduled the election for two weeks after the terrorist attacks, but in the meantime, everything about the campaign changed. It’s the same way now. “People are not as focused on ‘Who am I going to vote for’ right now,” Clarke said. “They’re

focused on ‘How do I contact my congresswoman to make sure that my family member who has been overseas for over a month now can get back to the United States?’” That helps incumbents like Clarke, who are much better positioned to help voters than candidates who don’t have a government office, staff, money and connections. Aggressive challengers can try to attack incumbents for not doing enough, but polling suggests that voters have largely been happy with the response to the crisis, at least at the state government level. A Monmouth University poll found that 72% of respondents thought their state’s governor was doing a good job. And while Congress’ approval rating is always low, it has gone up by more than 10 percentage points in the past two months. The coronavirus only amplifies the built-in advantages officeholders have in providing services to constituents. Take Assemblyman Michael Miller, a Queens Democrat who has been reelected five times is facing a primary against two opponents, in-

cluding the well-funded Jenifer Rajkumar, who used to work for Gov. Andrew Cuomo. “We’re not campaigning,” Miller said. “We’re just out there making phone calls to our constituents, seeing if there’s anything they need.” When asked if this was just another way to win over voters, Miller said it wasn’t his campaign team doing the work, but his government staff. “We’re not asking for votes,” he said. “We’re not mailing stuff, handing stuff out. We’re just making calls and trying to help as best we can.” Rajkumar isn’t an elected official, but she’s trying to make her team look like one. “On March 15, my canvassing team came back from door-knocking,” she told City & State. “That night I told campaign staff, don’t come back tomorrow. And then overnight, we revamped the campaign operation into a 24/7 coronavirus hotline and response team for South Queens.” Rajkumar said anybody can call the number, which is routed to her phone and to two staffers, and get quickly connected to somebody to respond in any of seven languages – English, Spanish, Bengali, Punjabi, Hindi, Albanian or Polish. The “24/7” nature has come under question from a Yahoo News reporter who claimed to call and get an answering machine at 2:21 a.m., but Rajkumar said her team has taken more than 100 calls in the past few weeks, including one from a family in Ozone Park who was going hungry. That night, the campaign delivered food to the family’s doorstep and connected them with government resources for the long term, Rajkumar said. “Maybe if I was an incumbent, I would have some extra resources at my disposal,” she said, “but even though I’m not elected yet, there’s a lot I can still do.” Rajkumar also sparked an online controversy by seeking to remove another Democratic rival, Joey De Jesus, from the ballot by knocking on the doors of some people who signed his petitions, even after the state had issued a stay-at-home order. Rajkumar’s team didn’t ultimately file an objection. “We did not want to endanger (city Board of Elections) workers or campaign staff,” she said.

HILE CANDIDATES LIKE Rajkumar are responding in relatively low-tech ways, others are embracing digital solutions to get their message across and connect with voters. Emails, videos and social media aren’t anything new on the campaign trail, but in the age of the coronavirus, digital outreach and digital advertisements have become imperative. With door-to-door campaigning and subway stop flyering all but impossible, one of the only options to reach voters is to do it online. “Digital campaigning now is not an accessory to campaigns – it’s the campaign,”

said Andrew Bleeker, founder and president at the consulting firm Bully Pulpit Interactive. “We’re seeing fundraisers on Zoom; we’re seeing press conferences on Zoom. We’re seeing, basically, town halls and Q&As, and not just from kids. It’s really made it fairly mainstream.” Bleeker’s firm, which is based in Washington, D.C., worked on Cuomo’s 2018 reelection campaign, but he isn’t working for any New York candidates this cycle. In the weeks since New York went into lockdown on March 22, campaigns have largely been shifting to video teleconferencing forums and virtual town halls. Candidates are also leaning more heavily on methods they were already utilizing, like Facebook posts and texting phone banks. Long before the pandemic, a small number of younger candidates for office in New York had even started seeking viral fame on TikTok, the social media app beloved by Gen Z. While incumbents have the upper hand in any election, some new candidates may have an edge when it comes to digital campaigning. Primary challengers are typically younger and more comfortable online compared to incumbents, which could be a real boon during the quarantine. Andom Ghebreghiorgis, a 34-year-old former special education teacher who is one of four Democrats challenging 73-year-old Rep. Eliot Engel, has started what’s essentially a nightly talk show livestreamed on Facebook and Instagram covering topics as varied as monetary theory and Caribbean history. Lindsey Boylan, a 36-year-old former adviser to Cuomo who is one of four Democrats taking on Rep. Jerry Nadler, who is 72, has been posting short selfie videos on Twitter and Instagram. One video in which Boylan called on the federal government to give small businesses grants (rather than loans) was viewed more than 68,000 times. And for newcomer candidates, there’s no cheaper or quicker way to get your name out there than a well-timed, fiery, viral tweet. The campaigns that have relied on innovative uses of digital campaigning – and found success – have generally had younger, more agile candidates facing off against older, more experienced candidates. Take Barack Obama’s digital grassroots organizing in 2008 or the social media powerhouse that is Ocasio-Cortez.

Of course, few insurgents can wield a social media account as effectively as Ocasio-Cortez, whose campaign playbook many set out to replicate this cycle. What’s more, incumbency has its own advantages in digital campaigning. Current elected officials are likely to start off with a larger online following, Bleeker noted, and for challengers with fewer volunteers and less campaign cash on hand, investing in cultivating the campaign’s social media presence – through promoted posts or ads, for example – might not be the top priority. And it’s not like the internet is some secret puzzle only younger candidates can unlock. U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont may not know how to code, but his presidential campaign had a passionate, vocal base of online supporters. In New York, 74-year-old Rep. Carolyn Maloney’s political team switched to all-remote campaigning using phone banking and the text banking app ThruText, online town halls and virtual internship programs, a spokesperson for the campaign said. And for kicks, Maloney even posted a photo on Instagram of her exercising indoors to a vintage Jane Fonda workout video. It’s unclear whether these changes are resonating with voters, but her pivot demonstrates that incumbents aren’t ceding the digital domain to 20- or 30-something candidates.

AISING ENOUGH MONEY has always been a concern for little-known candidates, and the coronavirus has only made it more difficult. The pandemic has hobbled the economy and caused nearly 1.2 million New Yorkers to file for unemployment. Everyone is having trouble raising money, said Kramer, the president of the political consulting group Get Out the Vote. But it’s hurting insurgents who rely on lots of low-dollar donations much more than incumbents cashing checks from deep-pocketed business leaders and industry groups. “People who give $5 or $25 have been impacted, economically speaking, more so than people who are giving $250 checks,” Kramer said. And many elected officials, especially those who haven’t faced serious challenges in recent cycles, have had years to amass campaign war chests, while challengers must start from scratch. While some challengers have been competitive on fund-

New York’s congressional and state legislative primaries remain scheduled for June 23, and while Cuomo has shown commitment to that date and has expanded absentee voting to all voters, other election details are up in the air with two months to go.

district attorney. Cabán declared victory on primary night, but Katz, who had the county Democratic organization’s endorsement, eked out a victory after the absentee ballots were counted. Many New Yorkers who consistently vote absentee are older, and prefer

establishment candidates. In 2020, Kramer said, “The winning side will be the one who gets those absentee ballots.” Many of those ballots, whether submitted by mail or filled out at a polling site, are going to have more names on them than ever. There are already more candidates challenging incumbents than in any cycle in recent memory. Now, the pandemic has made it easier for them to actually get their names on the ballot. The disease hit the state right in the middle of petitioning season, and Cuomo cut the number of signatures candidates needed to gather to make the ballot by 70%. In normal times, many of these insurgents would have had their petitions challenged and would have gotten booted off the ballot, but such challenges have been limited this year. Since the process of challenging a candidate’s petitions requires some in-person interaction at a board of elections office, there have been growing calls to end challenges this year. Even the Queens Democratic Party, notorious for kicking challengers off the ballot, signed on. “Obviously things are different,” said Meeks, the Queens Democratic leader. “What I’ve got to consider first and foremost is the health of human beings.” Of course, that concern for health happens to be good politics. Facing one strong challenger could be a problem for an incumbent. (Just ask Crowley, the former Queens party boss.) But multiple challengers, who could split the anti-establishment vote? That’s a relief for incumbents. What this all means is that even in a high-drama time, it’s likely to be a ho-hum primary night. But Assembly incumbents like Miller, who is facing Rajkumar and De Jesus, aren’t declaring victory. “Yes, they could split all the people that don’t like Mike Miller,” the incumbent assemblyman said, but the challengers are also trying to peel off support for him. “People say there’s an advantage?” Miller asked. “We’ll find out June 23.”

WHY ENGINEERS MUST ACT AS FIRST RESPONDERS Jelena Kovačević, William R. Berkley Professor and Dean of the NYU Tandon School of Engineering

COVID-19 pandemic are undoubtedly our essential workers — from healthcare providers to police and firefighters to those keeping our grocery stores stocked — and we are proud to loudly cheer our first responders every night at 7 pm. But as an engineering school, it’s critical that we operate as though our actions can make a material, immediate difference in the health of our communities. Many have compared the response to the reaction to Apollo 13 — unprecedented all-hands-on-deck collaboration, with rapid-response teams designing solutions with only existing knowledge and on-hand materials. As an academic research institution, contributing to essential knowledge and educating our students are core to our mission. In these times, we must reach across department boundaries, schools, and state lines to activate our research and mobilize our teams to help our local communities come through the other side as safely as possible. We must act less like a research institution, and more like a think tankpowered start-up. As a school born in and of New York with a longstanding relationship with the city and state, I’m proud to see how our community has risen to the call. From medical device innovation to 3D printing expertise to tech platform development, the NYU Tandon community has joined forces with others across NYU including Langone and the School of Public Health, across state lines with Rutgers and officials in New Jersey, and with those in need across the nation and abroad by sharing their innovations via open source platforms for anyone to download and implement.

show solidarity with other engineering schools around the world who are also acting on this responsibility to our communities; to profoundly thank our NYU Tandon community who has responded at every level, from students to alumni to faculty to staff; and to show New York that in times in need, we are and will always be here.

The legislative session is in limbo. Here’s what state lawmakers could take up ... if they ever come back.

THE P

by J U L I A A G O S

HE STATE LEGISLATIVE SESSION is “effectively over,” at least according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo. After passing a $177 billion state budget in early April, lawmakers have been working remotely due to the coronavirus outbreak. But state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said the Legislature could convene as needed, raising the possibility of further legislative activity until the session’s originally scheduled end date of June 2. Other lawmakers have flatly rejected Cuomo’s suggestion that the session is done, saying it’s not up to the governor. “First of all, we have three branches, bro,” state Sen. Gustavo Rivera said. “We have three. And therefore we get to decide when we go on.” If the state Senate and Assembly do reconvene, here’s a list of bills and issues that could be at the top of the rest of the agenda. FURTHER BUDGET CUTS As part of the budget, state lawmakers authorized Cuomo’s budget director to adjust spending throughout the year if updated revenue estimates show the budget to be unbalanced. It is likely that there will be an expected shortfall of $10 billion or more due to a major economic slowdown resulting from the coronavirus pandemic. Robert Mujica, the budget director, could then withhold a certain amount of aid from localities, including school aid. The Legislature would then have 10 days to respond to the cuts, should they decide to. RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA State lawmakers failed to reach a deal with the governor before the budget deadline on legalizing recreational marijuana. Amid the coronavirus outbreak, pot legalization was “too much, too little time,” according to Cuomo. As City & State reported this

Even if lawmakers resume the session remotely, the Capitol will remain deserted.

month, lawmakers wanted significant tax revenues set aside to reinvest in minority communities disproportionately targeted for marijuana offenses, while the governor wanted more flexibility by avoiding specific earmarks. EXTENDING THE CHILD VICTIMS ACT Some lawmakers wanted to add a one-year extension to last year’s Child Victims Act, which suspended the statute of limitations for victims of child sex abuse for a one-year window that ends in August. When the state court system halted all nonessential proceedings last month, including Child Victims Act claims, supporters said a new extension would be critical. TENANT PROTECTIONS In response to the coronavirus pandemic, Cuomo imposed a 90-day moratorium on evictions to prevent landlords from kicking out tenants who can’t pay their rent during the crisis. But the order does not include rent forgiveness, which could cause an eviction backlog when the moratorium ends. State Sen. Michael Gianaris introduced a rent relief bill that would suspend rent for residential tenants or small businesses who have lost income due to the crisis. Under Gianaris’ bill, which has 22 co-sponsors in the state Senate, those tenants would not owe any rent for those 90 days. Three lawmakers – state Sens. Brad Hoylman and Liz Krueger, and Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz – also announced the New York State Tenant Safe Harbor Act to build on the 90-day moratorium by preventing landlords from evicting tenants for not paying rent that accrued during the current state of emergency and for six months after it eventually ends. MOBILE SPORTS BETTING The state budget included language expanding sports betting, but only at additional locations inside the state’s existing commercial casinos. State Sen. Joseph Addabbo has said he will continue the fight to legalize mobile sports betting in New York, pointing to New Jersey’s early success with mobile sports betting and the need to fill a looming state budget gap. GIG WORKER PROTECTIONS New York state did not pass new protections for gig workers, who are now on the front lines of the coronavirus crisis. Gig workers, who work for companies like Postmates or Uber, could get more labor protections such as overtime pay and unemployment insurance under various proposals. The effort to change most gig workers’ classification from independent contractors to employees is facing hurdles in California, which passed a law doing so in September but it has since been chal-

lenged in court. The law has drawn more attention due to the pandemic. CLIMATE AND COMMUNITY INVESTMENT ACT Last year, environmentalists applauded the passage of the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, a landmark state law setting ambitious clean energy mandates to combat climate change. New York Renews, a labor and environmental coalition that backed the bill, has now turned its attention to the Climate and Community Investment Act, which it called a way to “help fund the transition to a renewable energy economy by making polluters pay for the damage they’re doing to our climate and our communities.” PHARMACY BENEFIT MANAGERS Both the state Senate and Assembly passed a bill last year to regulate pharmacy benefit managers – which negotiate drug prices on behalf of insurers and employers – only to see it vetoed. The bill’s sponsors, Assemblyman Richard Gottfried and state Sen. Neil Breslin, reintroduced the bill with some technical changes this year, and Cuomo called for changes in his initial budget proposal. During the final budget negotiations, pharmacists argued that their response to the coronavirus pandemic may be more effective if the state helped them limit the power of these companies. SINGLE-PAYER HEALTH CARE Proponents of single-payer health care have said the coronavirus pandemic demonstrates how the proposed system would save lives. Supporters of the New York Health Act, the state Legislature’s proposed single-payer bill, said that under the proposal people who are uninsured would not have to worry about fees if they get sick with COVID-19. In the past, the governor has said he’s open to the concept of single-payer health care, but that it would likely have to happen at the federal level. SEX WORKER DECRIMINALIZATION The push to make New York the first state to legalize sex work was always a long shot this session, although the movement has gained traction in recent years thanks to insurgent candidates, including state Sen. Julia Salazar, who made it a part of their campaigns. A more incremental step would have been to repeal the state’s “loitering for the purposes of engaging in prostitution” law – which critics dubbed the “walking while trans” ban, complaining that it’s too vague and allows law enforcement to target transgender women of color. Although Cuomo came out in support of the bill this year, which was sponsored by Hoylman and Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, it did not pass.

BILL DE BLASIO The feud, we regret to say, is back, as the constitutionally more powerful Gov. Andrew Cuomo shot down Hizzoner’s announcement that schools would be closed till summer. But now the mayor has 6 billion problems to deal with – that’s the number of dollars he had to cut from the budget he proposed just three months ago. That means major service cuts. And because the city actually has a transparent and accountable budget process (ahem, Albany), each cut is really gonna hurt.

THE BEST OF THE REST

THE REST OF THE WORST

COREY JOHNSON

LORRAINE CORTÉS-VÁZQUEZ

In the beforetimes, simply holding a stated meeting wouldn’t have been a win, but compared to their counterparts in Albany, Johnson and his New York City Council colleagues are looking pretty competent for figuring out how to keep doing the jobs they’re paid to do.

DEAN SKELOS

The imprisoned former state Senate majority leader caught the coronavirus, resulting in his release more than two years early – and he’s reportedly symptom-free. Maybe if Shelly Silver hadn’t filed so many appeals, he’d be free now too.

As head of the New York City Department for the Aging, she had been in charge of delivering meals to the elderly who would have normally gotten food at senior centers. It wasn’t going well. So the mayor reassigned the task to his new COVID-19 food czar Kathryn Garcia.

After Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a coalition with other governors to decide when their states can safely reopen, the president said he “calls the shots” – but then had to walk that back. Remind us, whose “authority is total” again?

ANDREW CUOMO The media had shown signs of souring on #PresidentCuomo, but getting to school the president on the finer points of the 10th Amendment while leading an alliance of seven states certainly renewed Cuomo’s stardom on the national scene. How far can he take it? The three-term governor might have missed his shot at becoming president of the United States, but leading the Northeastern States of America to independence (at least in reopening the economy) in 2020 could be a different story.
