A small number of people are repeat criminal offenders and carry out dangerous acts, so we want to thank this office for bringing this indictment and bringing these criminals to justice.

Former mayors
And I pray and hope that there will be no further shootings of police officers or murders over the course of this campaign or over the course of the time that I seek to be the mayor of this city.
As I run for citywide office and seek to represent this entire city, my focus is on extending that to every single borough of this city and over the course of this campaign, to see the horrific mass shooting that took the lives of four New…
I have great appreciation of the swift and decisive action Commissioner Tisch took to root out corruption and the upper echelons of the NYPD and the way in which she has presided over in department that has seen crime continue to lower…
Whether you call it the abolition of private property, or you call it just a statewide housing guarantee, it is preferable to what is going on right now.
We’re not going to roll over. And we’re going to fight fire with fire.
While this incident will forever be a stain on our city, it happened against the backdrop of a larger, more hopeful picture — one where the brave men and women of the NYPD continue to drive down crime.
We will offer them the opportunity to make judgments for themselves, again, only if Texas moves forward.
It’s a crisis, not just for families and their children, but also for the workers who take care of those children.
After housing, childcare is the cost that is pushing New Yorkers out of these five boroughs.
And now we’re coming to the largest borough and making sure we continue the success of our Q-team.
We know that people were not feeling safe. And that is why the commissioner put this quality of life initiative, the Q-team, throughout our entire city.
Not one time has [Mamdani] said something in response to a police officer who’s been shot or killed.
You should lift up officers when you’re not running for mayor.
Today is a victory for the rule of law and for the City of Los Angeles.
We must live in the spirit of Officer Islam and what he stood for and what he will always stand for and what he fought for.
I'm not here as the mayor, I'm here as a parent, as a father.
Too many military veterans still struggle with housing insecurity. If you served our country abroad or on a military base, you should be able to find an affordable place to live back home; that is why we are going to make military veterans…
We want to make sure the public servants who power our city can afford to live in our city, which is why we are going to double the city’s affordable housing preference for our extraordinary city employees.
As a lifelong public servant, I know first-hand the sacrifices that our city employees make every day to keep our streets safe, teach our children, help families save money, and deliver every day for 8.5 million of their fellow New Yorkers.
By signing this bill into law, California is again going on record to support survivors and victims of human trafficking, while penalizing those who solicit minors.
It is beyond me that politicians are looking to use these days to score such cynical political points, on the very day that I held the father of Officer Islam in my arms and he could not utter a single word.
The response of our police officers, I believe, saved many lives.
