In response to a Q from @maxrn.bsky.social, Lander said: "This is a critical time to have a mayor who will stand up to ICE and stand up to Donald Trump... I am very grateful to the other mayoral candidates who came out here to call for my release and I really hope New Yorkers will elect one of us."

Nyc is using ranked voting for the mayoral election. So you rank 1 candidate your 1st choice, another your 2nd, etc. If you leave a candidate out entirely, it's a much higher likelihood that your 1st choice, who might be someone else's 2nd or 3rd, gets elected.
