Big-City Mayors

New York City needs a mayor that is willing to fight [and] stand up, because doing so means we can win.

Too often Democrats take an approach where they decide that it’s not even worth trying. And if you do not try, you fail.

What we see from Andrew Cuomo is a desire to fulfill Eric Adams’s second term. It’s the same donors, the same agenda, the same corruption.

Our schools sit at the nexus of so many different parts of our city and so many of the different struggles that we face as a city.

Climate and quality of life are not two separate concerns. They are, in fact, one and the same.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of f--- up imaginable.

We had lunch with a major stock broker from New York and we were talking to him about the tariffs.

I’m proud I’ve always stood for consistency and universal human rights.

We talk about freedom, justice, safety for everyone, but suddenly we draw lines about who ‘everyone’ is.

I'll fight back against Trump tariffs, seek exemptions from trade partners.

I humbly put my record up against any of these other candidates.

Let me be clear: although the charges against me were false, I trusted people that should not have, and I regret that.

I am running for mayor in the general election because our city needs independent leadership that understands working people.

I have always put New York’s people before politics and party — and I always will.

And let me be clear, although the charges against me were false, I trusted people I should not have and I regret that.

We're all fatigued. We're fatigued about affordability in our city.

It's ironic to hear the mayor describe himself as an independent when his record has shown him anything but that.

I know that the accusations leveled against me may have shaken your confidence in me, and that you may rightly have questions about my conduct.

There isn't a liberal or conservative way to fix New York, but there is a right way and a wrong way and true leaders just know the right path [if] they have the guts to take it.

Although I am still a Democrat, I am announcing that I will forgo the Democratic primary for mayor and appeal directly to all New Yorkers as an independent candidate in the general election.
