First pro-Curtis Sliwa super PAC launches ad spree as mayoral election nears
A New York political strategist with a history of working for both Democrats and Republicans has launched a super PAC to boost GOP mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa’s campaign in the final weeks of this year’s heated race for City Hall.
E. O’Brien Murray, who has worked in New York City and State politics for decades, registered the Vote Common Sense PAC as a pro-Sliwa entity this past Friday, he confirmed to the Daily News.
That makes Vote Common Sense the first super PAC backing Sliwa in this year’s election cycle, which has already featured heavy outside spending for the other two main mayoral hopefuls, Democratic front-runner Zohran Mamdani and independent candidate Andrew Cuomo.
The PAC launch comes even though Sliwa is polling third in the Nov. 4 mayoral election, behind both Mamdani and Cuomo.
