Meet the candidates for New York City mayor

With the primary election scheduled for September 10^th , the top candidates are campaigning furiously.

We?re breaking it down for you along the way.

Here is a list of your top seven mayoral runners as of now.

• Anthony Weiner
• Christine Quinn
• Bill de Blasio
• John Liu
• Bill Thompson
• Joe Lhota
• John Catsimatidis

These days leading up to the primary, each candidate agrees on one thing: The race is getting even tighter.

?You know, politics is not that complicated a thing. It?s making people understand that you understand their challenges,? front runner Anthony Weiner said.

And those challenges are presented in each debate and each meet and greet with the public.

Weiner even kicked off his campaign with an event at a subway stop in Harlem.

Both he and Quinn believe the ?mayor should have control of the MTA, saying quote ?I don?t know what a representative from Buffalo has to do with who?s getting on and off the? G train.?

Of course, Thompson and Lhot are big on the topic of transportation.

Thompson has said he would ?use $40 million of MTA surplus money to restore services.?

Llhota adds, ?Transportation cannot be ignored and must remain a focal point.?

Voters say it?s an exciting, tight race and everyone needs to be informed.
