Ex-Sanit boss touts nod in Scott’s stronghold

Mayoral contender Kathryn Garcia made a push into rival Scott Stringer’s political turf Tuesday with the announcement that former candidate Loree Sutton is endorsing her City Hall run.

The move came as Garcia unveiled a new TV ad and as a wounded Stringer continued to fend off allegations that he sexually abused a woman who worked on a political campaign 20 years ago. Garcia, the city’s former sanitation commissioner, and Sutton, Mayor de Blasio’s former head of veterans affairs, appeared on the Upper West Side — a Stringer stronghold — and used the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Riverside Park as a backdrop to illustrate Garcia’s vision for bringing back the city.

“Today is another day for citizens and public servants to step up — and in this case, save our city,” Sutton, who dropped her own mayoral run in March, said in front of the graffiti-scarred Civil War memorial. “That’s why I’m here today.”
