About this episode

Bradley Tusk and Steve Fulop discuss the need for the Partnership for New York to become more politically active to support pro-business interests.

One big reason that the Left has grown so powerful in the city, Bradley argues, is that the Partnership for New York — the group that should have been fighting for centrist, pro-business interests — never showed any inclination to play politics. That could be changing now that Steve Fulop, former three-term mayor of Jersey City, has taken over as the Partnership's CEO Fulop joins Firewall for a spirited debate on what it will take for business to punch its weight in political matters and reinvigorate the pro-growth agenda. Discussed on today's episode: What Steve Fulop Needs to do to Make the Partnership for New York City Relevant and Effective Again by Bradley Tusk, November 5, 2025 This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.
