Mangione for New York
Mangione for Senate.New York could do worse.
It has, repeatedly — the record is public. The candidate is presumed innocent, universally discussed, and unavailable for comment: three traits he shares with half the sitting Senate.
The Platform
Four planks. No ladders.
A platform is a promise the voters can stand on. Ours fits on four — which is four more than the last session produced.
PLANK 01 · HEALTHCARE
He has thoughts
The insurance industry has feelings. Somewhere between the two, a bill dies in committee, as is tradition.
PLANK 02 · CAMPAIGN FINANCE
Cannot be bought
The candidate cannot accept a donation, cannot keep one, and cannot ask you to try. Cleanest money story in New York by default.
PLANK 03 · DEBATES
Debates by mail
Will attend every debate via absentee ballot, with written rebuttals arriving in three to five business days.
PLANK 04 · TERM LIMITS
Two terms, consecutive
The incumbent alternative is ‘whatever this is.’ Four hundred years of accountability sounds ambitious. Start with two.
The Coalition
Endorsed by nobody, proudly
The coalition announced itself at dawn, as coalitions do.
“Finally, a candidate who cannot cash our checks.”
— AREA LOBBYISTS, FORMERLY UNITED
“Never returns a call. Like the MTA, but with positions.”
— STRAPHANGERS LOCAL 1
“Best lettering we never did.”
— EMPIRE STATE SIGN PAINTERS, LOCAL 12 (UNAWARE)
“We were going to wait for the debates.”
— THE UNDECIDED VOTERS
The Ground Game
Patience, in marble
No door knocking. No phone banks. No appearances. The campaign’s presence on the ground is a colonnade of placards and the composure of a city that knows how to wait for what matters.
Frequently Asked
Questions, answered by mail
Is this a real campaign?
The About page answers this in plain language, which this campaign reserves for exactly one page. About this site.
Is he eligible?
Presumed innocent until proven otherwise — the same presumption the Senate extends to its own members, theoretically. The rest is between him, the Constitution, and a calendar.
Can I donate?
This campaign is funded entirely by conviction and free media, in that order. If someone asks you for money in its name, keep your wallet and your counsel.
Where does he stand on the issues?
Wherever he is told to stand, presumably. On substance: unavailable for comment, like every incumbent.
