Less than two weeks after a former volunteer on a past campaign accused him of sexual harassment, Scott Stringer, one of the leading candidates for mayor of New York City, is being buoyed up by some of his most ardent Jewish supporters. Outside Fairway Market on the Upper West Side Sunday, flanked by Congressman Jerry Nadler, Assemblywoman Linda Rosenthal, Ruth Messinger, former borough president; and Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, Stringer said he’s confident his campaign will survive the tumult. The city’s comptroller and the only leading Jewish candidate, Stringer was widely considered the progressive choice in the crowded Democratic primary on June 22. But claims of sexual harassment by the former campaign worker, Jean Kim stalled his momentum. After the allegations, a host of progressive politicians and groups, including the Working Families Party, withdrew their support of Stringer despite his forceful denial.
