Former mayors
I fight for working people. I fight for the very people who have been priced out of this city.
New York City residents’ top concerns are public safety, affordability, quality of life and the local economy. In all of these areas, Mayor Adams has had impressive accomplishments.
Importantly, Adams has committed to hire the best and brightest to staff his campaign and administration, and many super talented NYers have already reached out to help.
Mayor Adams is ready to go to battle, guns blazing with enormous energy and clarity on why Mamdani and his socialist/communist (We must seize the means of production) and anti-NYPD policies would be catastrophic for NYC.
Voters will resoundingly reject this in November
The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported.
Donald Trump is attacking me because he is desperate to distract from his war on working people. We must and we will fight back.
The federal government illegally sidestepped him by deploying Guard forces without his permission.
I will pursue legal action to regain control of the guard.
Every member of Congress who voted for this should be ashamed. Baltimore won't forget.
Donald Trump said that I should be arrested. Someone who would also be the first Muslim and the first South Asian mayor in this city’s history, less so because of who I am, because of where I come from, because of how I look or how I speak…
Ultimately, what I fear … is that if this is what Donald Trump and his administration feel comfortable about saying about the Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City, imagine what they feel comfortable saying and doing about…
I want people to know that when they vote for me, they’re voting for these issues.
If this campaign has demonstrated anything to the world, it is that our dreams can become reality.
Lucy the Pig is staying on Staten Island with her family to receive medical care.
We know that he would rather speak about me than speak about the legislation that he is shepherding through Washington, D.C.
He said those things about me — someone who stands to be the first immigrant mayor of this city in generations, someone who would also be the first Muslim and the first South Asian mayor in this city’s history — less so because of who I…
His statements don’t just represent an attack on our democracy but an attempt to send a message to every New Yorker who refuses to hide in the shadows: if you speak up, they will come for you.
The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported.
For too long, politicians have pretended that we’re spectators to that crisis of affordability. We’re actually actors, and we have the choice to exacerbate it, like Mayor Adams has done, or to respond to it and resolve it, like I’m doing.
Ultimately, the definition for me of why I call myself a democratic socialist is found in the words of Dr. King decades ago, when he said: call it democracy or call it democratic socialism, there must be a better distribution of wealth for…
This entire race was about the question of affordability, and ultimately I have run a campaign that speaks about the tools that city government actually has to deliver that affordability in the wealthiest city and the wealthiest country in…
