He returned to New York City politics a decade later as an advisor and strategist for Andrew Yang’s campaign for mayor of New York in the 2021 election, playing a unique role because both co-campaign managers worked for his firm.
After referring to Andrew in a March interview as an “empty vessel,” critics warned that “Tusk could essentially be the shadow mayor for New York, while he represents the interests of big corporate clients.”
He responded to the allegations, declaring “if we win, I will not lobby or talk with the new mayor — nor anyone in a Yang administration — on any matter that intersects with our work” in a statement.
