My Fear for New York City as a Write-In Candidate for Mayor: Part 1

SmithieForMayor NYC 2025

MANHATTAN, NY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 20, 2025 / I am Abbey Laurel-Smith, a Know-Nothing Party candidate running for Mayor, city of New York. As a registered third party in the city, ours is not just a bigger plan imbued with prosperity New Yorkers', it is forward looking, pragmatic and full of achievable promises. In short, we plan to ReBuildNewYorkCity.

And after looking through the programs put forward by other candidates, I feel proud to say my party's campaign and my candidacy is the only one capable of bringing the city into a digital age, improve services and trade, as well as having a workable plan to revive the city's productive past.

All in all, I feel happy to lead a party that is set on placing the city a path to prosperity by bringing back those high earners who left the city as a result of the pandemic, whilst at the same time we remain focused on crafting ways and means to improve city living experience for retirees, pensioners, people with disabilities and low income families.

With public works, communal banking, blockchain and cloud financing and cloud architecture, we plan to make the city ready for the generation behind us.

But we've just been marked off the ballot chit - by the effort of a leading Republican candidate - in a city that's been a home for my ancestors long before Lord Dunsmore raised the Ethiopian Regiment!

Mad as hell, because New York City as of today, is broken. It can be rebuilt and made a lot better. But being made to sit back and watch three major party candidates debate without flair, without creativity, without clarity and the boldness of conscience to do what is right for the greater benefit of all is lacing my trepidation with rage and anger.

We might end up with the wrong Mayor!

The city is being run as if from paycheck to paycheck. Yet these three candidates debate like playful actors, clowning around with culturally dressed promises. What happened to the knowledge and the skill required of a Mayor to set the city straight?

New Yorkers' as of today are tired of being fed with over-exaggerated culturally promises. We need somebody to bring cost of living down, generate new revenue for the city without taxing them to hell. We need a Mayor that will make the city safe, secure and livable, without tapping into old fears and without denigrating other communities. We need a Mayor that is capable of reviving economically challenged communities, improve livable and affordable housing supply in the city, and above all bring the rusty city back into a digital age.

If others can use their collective power as landlords, asset holders and investors to sway the city to bend to their will, then why not us - poor sods, as a collective of set of fellows? Why not go against what economists call "rent seekers, speculators and inflated rate experts." Why continue with a system where a few landlords and speculators extract value without creating any?

That is why I ran my campaign on a New York Poor Relief Campaign platform. Penal or paternal, I chose paternal. New Yorkers' need to be taken care of, not punished, and not taxed to hell. Enough is enough!

The past four years has been full of dead obligations and decisions that are a direct threat to the survival of retirees, current working age New Yorkers' as well as the coming generation behind us. I don't see why we should continue to follow nor elect leaders whose time has passed even before they got into office. And neither should we overreact by electing a Mayor whose timing for a better oversight of what is needed for the city is way off.

I want to think of my home - New York City, with a smile. Not with anger, rage and trepidation! No!

I fear we might end up electing the wrong candidate for Mayor, city of New York.

If your answer is yes to everything said so far, then you obviously care about who you'd want as your next Mayor for the city of New York.

Support The Know-Nothing Party of America's campaign by voting to rebuild your city at the ballot box this November. We will protect your right by standing up for what you care about the most.

I am Abbey Laurel-Smith, an Independent "write in" candidate running for Mayor of the City of New York. As your candidate, I favor the general well being of all New Yorkers. And as much as I promise to work to improve the living experience for retirees, students, city workers and low income families, I also promise to work hard on bringing back those high earning out-migrators who left the city for neighboring states during the pandemic.

I put New Yorkers first.

Join me, vote better live this general election and let's rebuild your city.
