Cuomo vowed to "bust" public education in 2014 in order to bring in more hedge-fund backed, for-profit charter schools, diverting public funds.
Cuomo created Tier 6, to decrease Educator (and other public sector workers) pensions, knowing quite well there was already a crisis in teacher retention and recruitment. He coupled this with a more taxing teacher evaluation system.
It is quite clear who the only pro-labor, pro-education candidate is, and it would behoove any responsible teacher advocacy group to name him.
Hi Matt, thanks for reading and thanks for your feedback. Each candidate is named above, along with a brief overview and link to their platform. We trust that UFT members can make their own informed decisions. We encourage all UFT members to organize and promote their candidate of choice, and expect the candidate with the most compelling messaging and platform will prevail.
Cuomo does not support reducing class size unless the state sends more funding and even then wants to exclude all “popular” schools. For a better analysis/comparison see the nyc parent blog here . https://nycpublicschoolparents.blogspot.com/2025/09/cuomo-vs-sliwa-vs-mamdani-on-education.html
