Former presidential candidate Andrew Yang has filed the necessary paperwork to enter next year\u2019s race for New York City Mayor, according to NBC New York<\/a>. The former tech entrepreneur made headlines during his run for president when he called for universal basic income of $1,000 a month for Americans over the age of 18.<\/p>\n

His supporters during his presidential bid, known as the \u201cYang Gang,\u201d played a major role, as was able to raise $40 million during his campaign, according to CNN<\/a>. Yang was also known for his MATH slogan: Make America Think Harder.<\/p>\n

New York\u2019s Campaign Finance Board confirmed Yang\u2019s entrance into that city\u2019s mayoral contest. However, Chris Coffey, Yang\u2019s political consultant, called Yang\u2019s filing more \u201cprocedural\u201d and not necessarily \u201cofficial,\u201d according to New York Daily News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aren\u2019t accepting donations,\u201d Coffey said. \u201cNo status change.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, Yang already has a leg up compared to the more than 35 candidates in the crowded race. Education Reform Now Advocacy conducted a recent survey showing that Yang is ahead of all the other candidates with 17 percent of those polled saying they would vote for him.<\/p>\n

The Democrat has lived in New York for 25 years. However, when his presidential campaign ended, he said then that he would not run for mayor. Yang also later founded a nonprofit.<\/p>\n

He is not expected to start his campaign until after January\u2019s two Senate runoffs in Georgia are over. New York City is scheduled to have its primary election on June 22 of next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
