Kathryn Garcia narrowly lost the mayoral primary. Now she's a political celebrity with a wide-open future. ClareMalone reports

The mayor’s race was Garcia’s first foray into politics, and it has been an education. The workers she oversaw for six years had cared about what she looked like too, but her image projection felt less loaded. “I represent them,” Garcia said. “I couldn’t be wandering around looking slouchy. So the fact that I got up” — for early-morning roll calls before they ran their 5 a.m. routes — “and was dressed and wore heels and talked to them on a garage floor, they appreciated it.
Garcia’s campaign tried to parlay her granular knowledge of the city into an image of the hyperqualified bureaucrat — New York’s gravelly voiced, broad-in-a-leather-jacket answer to Elizabeth Warren. The fact that two women finished in the top-three vote-getters the first time the city used ranked-choice voting — in the first round, Adams finished first, Wiley second, and Garcia third — is itself something of an argument for the merits of the system.
