, her supporters urged her to run again in the general election on the Working Families Party’s ballot line. Niou, they hoped, could pull together enough votes from the divided progressive field to beat Goldman in a one-on-one rematch after he narrowly won in a field of a dozen-plus candidates.to her supporters, who have described themselves as heartbroken over her decision not to run in November. “I’m heartbroken too,” she says in a Manhattan coffee shop where she explains her choice.
Niou didn’t limit her criticism to other candidates. “I think that one of the biggest things that we really needed to do probably was to door-knock and call more in some of these areas that I already represented and then also on the West Side” of Manhattan, she says. “We only had such a short period of time, so we prioritized high-voter-turnout areas. So I think there were a lot of strategic things that we could have done a little bit differently.
Niou says that she hasn’t heard from Goldman since Election Night or since she conceded. When asked if she would reach out herself, she was noncommittal. “I don’t know. I personally don’t know what his contact is. But I am very open. My DMs are open. I am a public servant. I still have an office available. But nobody’s reached out to me yet,” she says.
