Who are you voting for? I know it’s rude to ask but this mayoral election is a big deal. Plus, I’m super interested in which way you’re leaning.

I’m surprised how many of my friends and family are undecided. They seem to be teasing out the differences between Bill De  Blasio, Christine Quinn and William Thompson.

I’m more than likely going to vote for Di Blasio. It’s kind of a no brainer. He used to be my City Councilman and he’s a recognizable tall person around the Slope. While I like his progressive and thoughtful views on education, housing and the middle class, I worry that he has no managerial experience and running the city is like running a really huge and  complex company. It really does require a managerial genius like Bloomberg even if you don’t agree with his agenda.

Quinn sounds great on paper. She’d be the first woman and the first gay mayor of New York City. Who can walk away from that. Yet, she also represents the status quo and a continuation of Bloomberg policies and I think we need a change.

Thompson is also very qualified. He’s a career politician who has been the head of the Board of Education for 5 terms and City Comptroller. Sadly, he doesn’t seem to have much vision or pizazz.

What do you think?
