In a shocking turn, independent candidate Jim Walden has vaulted into first place in the crowded NYC mayoral contest, according to the latest Green Strategy Poll. Walden’s platform of anti-corruption reforms and public safety overhaul appears to be resonating with both disillusioned Democrats and centrist independents, giving him a path few had anticipated at the start of the summer.
