These typical early endorsers may not be able to decide on one candidate this year.

Brooklyn Democratic Party boss Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn personally endorsed Eric Adams for mayor back in March, but for a while, the county party appeared to be avoiding making any formal endorsement in the mayoral race.
On Staten Island, Democratic Party boss Michael Cusick endorsed Andrew Yang last month, and in Queens, party boss Rep. Gregory Meeks endorsed Ray McGuire in April – but their parties have both stayed quiet on making any formal endorsements. Manhattan Demoratic Party boss Keith Wright hasn’t endorsed and neither has his party.
