About This Project
The Center for New York City Affairs is dedicated to advancing innovative public policies that strengthen neighborhoods, support families and reduce urban poverty. Our tools include rigorous analysis; skillful journalistic research; candid public dialogue with stakeholders, and strategic planning with government officials, nonprofit practitioners and community residents. Our Campaign Roundtables are in in-depth discussions with top strategists and campaign staff, as well as prominent journalists, civic leaders, academics, political observers and others, to dissect, learn about and better understand what happens during the race for office. The discussions are a chance to learn what campaign insiders were thinking when they made strategic choices (both good and bad), as well as to learn more generally about the state of electoral politics in New York City and State.
