Speaking as someone who was actually intrigued by the @AndrewYang for President campaign (behind Sanders and Warren), I have found myself *deeply* concerned about and opposed to Yang for NYC Mayor.
I am really focused on Yang’s choice of campaign management firm, which is immediately disqualifying. Tusk Strategies is a corporate lobbyist, Bloomberg affiliated, NYPD/PBA Trump- supporting entity.

He did not have to hire them. That was a decision. I find it unacceptable.
Yang’s other affiliations & positions on key issues are also quite distressing. Examples include on policing, tax policy, or the ugly smearing of Palestinian rights advocacy.
But Yang’s choice of campaign staffing is most troubling because it demonstrates that he is pursuing a win by any costs mentality, and suggests the type of folks who may advise and influence him should he become mayor.
Andrew Yang seems like a very a nice person and a good guy. But that doesn’t mean you should vote for him for Mayor.

There are other two clear options that New Yorkers should rank and vote for: @MayaWiley and @Dianne4NYC.
Andrew Yang’s op-Ed last year that argued Asian Americans should basically prove their belonging in order to mitigate hate also has left me extremely baffled for some time.

Another reason I don’t think he has the right instincts for city leadership. https://www.vox.com/2020/4/3/21206760/andrew-yang-washington-post-asian-americans-opinion
