In the
last public polling of New York voters from NBC and the Wall Street Journal, it
appeared that Democratic mayoral hopeful Bill de Blasio would win in a
landslide election against his Republican opponent Joe Lhota, and that’s
exactly what happened. 73 percent of likely voters cast their ballots for de
Blasio, while Lhota ended up at a comparatively puny 24 percent. These strong
results can be attributed to a large number of factors, and for de Blasio, it
all came together at the right time.
For
starters, let's take a look at the soon-to-be former mayor of New York, Michael
Bloomberg. Bloomberg is one of the more well-known names in the country and
arguably the most powerful mayor in the world with his network of both public
and private connections through all forms of government, businesses, and
investments. While not everyone has agreed with his tactics, he has left an
undeniable mark on the office with his Republican-turned-Independent policies
in a solidly Democratic state. However, one of the reasons why de Blasio ran
away in a landslide is because of Bloomberg. It seems New Yorkers may be a bit
fatigued after his three terms as mayor.
For de
Blasio himself, regardless of politics, he has done just about everything right
to be a strong political candidate. He used his campaign experience as a
political operative to make himself a well-known and vocal public servant,
running counter to an opposing candidate that wants to uphold the status quo.
What
businesses can learn from de Blasio is how he managed to get himself out into
the limelight. He started small, then worked his way up and made a name for
himself. When campaigning, he knew exactly who his targeted audience was: the
people of New York City. He also understood his voters wanted a change from
Bloomberg. And finally, he advocated himself in clear support of his own cause
with no evidence (so far) of flip-flopping, something which helped get
President Obama elected in both his terms.
