State politicians are getting involved in the New York City mayoral race, and a new poll has some good news for Democrats. WAMC’s Andrew Waite and The New York Public News Network’s Jimmy Vielkind discussed the latest developments.

Andrew Waite is WAMC’s news director. His journalism career dates to 2009, when he was a cub reporter for community newspapers in Montana and Alaska. He has since worked as an editor at the inflight magazine for Seattle-based Alaska Airlines and as the featured news columnist for The Daily Gazette in Schenectady.
