Campaign Intern: Walden for NYC Mayor
Jim Walden is the true independent running for NYC mayor, a commonsense alternative committed to safe streets, cleaning up City Hall and building our way to affordable housing. Jim has raised $3.5 million to run on the Integrity Party line in the Nov. 4 general election.
Jim is a former mafia prosecutor commited to bringing safety to our streets and ending corruption, cronyism and patronage in City Hall. As a private lawyer, Jim represented whistleblowers and fought for vulnerable communities for decades. He stands up for those who need a champion – public housing tenants, trans workers and government retirees. Now, he’s bringing his energy and creativity to the campaign to put people over politics in New York City.
