Well I think we all know who Mamdani’s voting for: my opponent, Micah Lasher. DSA sticks together.
Zohran Mamdani casts his midterm ballot as first day of early voting kicks off in NYC trib.al/krUBpF1

Update: Mamdani Supporter Micah Lasher is back from Pennsylvania but no, he’s still not campaigning in his own district… he’s up in NY-17 now. While I was out campaigning throughout #ny12 and meeting with voters today, the first day of early voting, my opponent was once again taking us all for granted and campaigning for someone else, somewhere else (today it was for the opponent of @lawler4ny). Micah, this is an election, not a coronation. Wake up. And debate me, while you’re at it. #nokings
It’s a beautiful day to knock on doors for @CaitforNewYork! Today is the last day to register to vote in New York. Get out there, and vote early!

Early voting starts today, Manhattan! Go VOTE. Let’s not reward failure and candidates, like my opponent, who are too cowardly to campaign, to debate, and to show up. This seat doesn’t belong to corrupt politicians to pass down from one to another. This seat is ours… it’s the people’s seat. Let’s take it back. 🇺🇸🗽 Thank you so much to the Washington Examiner for featuring my op-ed! Check out the full article here: washingtonexaminer.com/op-ed… @dcexaminer #ny12 #vote #realignment

Thank you so much Rabbi Farhi for your support and leadership. Now is the time for real champions and moral clarity. It’s an honor to be in this fight with you. #ny12
THE NEXT ELECTION IS TOO IMPORTANT TO SIT OUT — GET OUT AND VOTE! Go! Go! Go! The time to act is NOW! Here’s my personal list—screenshot it, share it, and make your plan! Check your calendar TODAY. Block out time to vote. No excuses. We cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the last election. May God bless and protect us—but we must also take responsibility for protecting our future. Look at what’s happening around the world. Is that what we want on our streets? In our neighborhoods? For our children? Our communities, our safety, and our future hang in the balance. YOU have the power to make a difference. People, wake up. Show up. Speak up. DO. YOUR. THING. GET OUT AND VOTE!

Beyond bringing Republicans and Democrats together, my campaign for Congress is also bringing New York Yankees fans and Boston Red Sox fans together! 🇺🇸🙌 I am beyond honored to have the support and endorsement of former Boston City Councilor (who also happens to be a former Democrat) Jerry McDermott! A true patriot, leader, and friend, Jerry understands the importance of this election in NY-12 and why it’s so critical to restore the shine to the Big Apple. The time is now. Let’s win this! Thank you so much, Jerry! #endorsement #carolineshinkleforcongress #carolinefornewyork #ny12 #yankees #redsox

This is tragic, and I pray for the recovery of the victim, a member of the Chabad community, of this senseless act of violence, which has every indication of being an antisemitic hate crime. This is what happens when criminals are emboldened by antisemitic rhetoric coming from political leaders, as well as by the silence in the face of that rhetoric by other politicians who give them a pass. Not on my watch. Jewish safety is public safety, and it’s about time we treat it as such.

🚨History in the making here in Manhattan. NY-12 has been considered historically deep blue, but I can tell you in this election, it is INFRARED. The people are with us. Common sense will prevail over socialism, failure, and caving in. 🇺🇸 Such a pleasure joining Big Money in the Morning on Fox Business with @BrianBrenberg today to discuss! Thank you so much for having me! @FoxNews @FoxBusiness #ny12 #carolineshinkleforcongress #carolinefornewyork

Check out my interview with @Paul_Ollinger! Thank you so much Paul for such an excellent discussion. These are dangerous times and this election could not be more critical. Failure is not an option. 🇺🇸
Bad news, New York. We might be France. @TheRealCShinkle , the MIT economist and Harvard lawyer running for Congress in Manhattan, explains why. “We are not far behind what’s going on in France right now.” “It’s even more concerning than the first Cold War, because now the forces are in our own backyard.” youtu.be/66ftv0RyZIE

My opponent, Mamdani Supporter Micah Lasher, is too busy enabling the DSA agenda and calling for the immediate release of a dangerous career criminal to show up to his day job. Lasher ranks among the top 10 no-shows in Albany. In the private sector, he would be dropkicked in a New York minute. This is why we have elections. Vote Caroline Shinkle for Congress. #ny12 nypost.com/2026/10/19/us-new…

A massive civilizational clash is unfolding before our eyes. We need only to look to France in recent days, but America is not far behind. Just today in NYC, a bank was allegedly attacked and defaced by a pro-Palestinian terrorist group (designated as such in the UK) in what is being investigated as another possible antisemitic hate crime. In a few days, we will decide at the ballot box: do we uphold the founding principles of our Republic and elect strong leadership to counteract these destructive, dangerous forces? Or do we bend the knee to these radical forces that seek to destroy our way of life by electing leadership that has already caved in and enables their agenda. I'm for Western civilization. And I'll never stop fighting for it. Join me. Vote Caroline Shinkle for Congress in NY-12.
🚨UPPER EAST SIDE: PaIestine Action, a UK based direct radical action network vandalized and violently destroyed the windows of Capital One Bank in 86th Street. Look at Europe yesterday to see what will be in NYC today.
