In New York, mayor elections will start

In New York, the election campaign officially started, which will end with the election of the mayor of the city on November 5 this year. According to RIA Novosti , two months before the official elections will also be hosted by internal party primaries, which will be clarified by the names of the most likely candidates for the mayor from the two largest American parties. In the meantime, candidates must submit to the election commission a signature of one hundred thousand people who are ready to act in their support. Or add five hundred thousand dollars to a special account.

While eleven people claim the post of head of the city. Of these, seven democrats, three Republicans and one independent politician. The newspaper New York Times launched a project on its website, in which she talks about all candidates for a high post. Currently, the mayor of New York is the Republican Michael Bloomberg. The billionaire completes an unprecedentedly successful career at the head of the city: he was able to maintain his post for three in a row.

So far, experts have the greatest chances with democrats Christina Kuinn. She is 46 years old, for a long time she has been working as a speaker of the Legislative Assembly of New York, being, in fact, the second person in the city after the mayor of Bloomberg. Kuinn is a supporter of freedom of personal life, she is an open lesbian who registered a marriage with a famous New York woman-advocate. Kuinn worked for a long time in organizations supporting the rights of sexual minorities, while considered an extremely practical politician. More than ten years ago, she felt great at a post in the administration of the mayor of Rudolf Juliani, known for her conservative views on family issues. It is assumed that it is Kuinn who can receive the support of the current mayor of Bloomberg.

A few years ago, Weiner was forced to resign as a result of the scandal. It turned out that the politician sent his photos with a naked torso through social networks to unfamiliar women.
