John Lindsay

John Vliet Lindsay (; November 24, 1921 – December 19, 2000) was an American politician and lawyer. During his political career, Lindsay was a U.S. congressman, the mayor of New York City, and a candidate for U.S. president. He was also a regular guest host of Good Morning America. Lindsay served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from January 1959 to December 1965 and as mayor of New York from January 1966 to December 1973. In 1971, during his second term as mayor, Lindsay switched from the Republican to the Democratic Party.

He made an unsuccessful bid to become the Democratic candidate in the 1980 U.S. Senate election in New York.
