Eric Adams, one of the leading candidates for mayor of New York City, is expected to receive the endorsement of an influential Orthodox voting bloc in Queens on Friday.
The endorsement of the Far Rockaway Jewish Alliance, which represents a large part of the Orthodox community in Queens, comes as Adams is seeking to solidify his standing in the polls and lock up more support from the city’s 1.1 million Jews.
The group was instrumental in mobilizing the vote for Pesach Osina, a longtime member of the community, in the recent special election for the 31st Council District. Though Osina lost the election, he received 2,674 votes. A few thousand votes could be critical for candidates in next month’s ranked-choice primary.

Eric Adams, one of the leading candidates for mayor of New York City, has increased his outreach efforts to the Jewish community. By Wednesday, Adams had visited Jewish communities in all five boroughs.
Adams’s outreach to all aspects of the Jewish community is an integral part of his campaign’s strategy to build a formidable coalition that could get him to City Hall. The Jewish vote has historically proven to be a powerful and even decisive factor in mayoral elections. Experts estimate that New York’s 1.1 million Jews make up about 20% of the voters in the city’s Democratic primaries.
