Big-City Mayors

I am a democratic socialist, yes. I started to call myself that after Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign for president, when I finally had a language that described how I saw the world, and the way that I believe the world should be — which is…

Democrats spoke in a clear voice, delivering a mandate for an affordable city, a politics of the future, and a leader unafraid to fight back against rising authoritarianism.

We will not accept this intimidation.

I am humbled by the support of more than 545,000 New Yorkers who voted for our campaign and am excited to expand this coalition even further as we defeat Eric Adams and win a city government that puts working people first.

While freezing the rent may sound like a catchy slogan, it is bad policy, short-sighted, and only puts tenants in harm’s way.

Demands to ‘freeze the rent’ would exacerbate these harmful health and safety issues inside the homes of more than 1 million New Yorkers by depriving owners of the resources needed to make repairs — a cruel and dangerous proposal.

Rent may be on the rise, but so are deteriorating housing conditions — including inadequate heat and heating breakdowns, mice and rat problems, mold, and leaks — especially for New Yorkers in rent-stabilized housing.

While the board exercised their independent judgment, and made an adjustment based on elements such as inflation, I am disappointed that they approved increases higher than what I called for.

I will fight for a city that works for you, that is affordable for you, that is safe for you.... We can be free and we can be fed. We can demand what we deserve.

During a time when our city should be rejoicing and celebrating members of our diverse LGBTQ+ community, incidents like this are devastating.

My concern is to start to walk down the line of language and making clear what language I believe is permissible or impermissible takes me into a place similar to that of the president.

Call it democracy or call it democratic socialism. There has to be a better distribution of wealth for all of God’s children in this country.

Trump wants to distract from what I’m fighting for. And I’m fighting for the very working people that he ran a campaign to empower, that he has since then betrayed.

For too long, politicians have pretended to simply be bystanders to a cost of living crisis. They’ve actually exacerbated it.

We can beat anyone that’s in this race because what we’ve shown is that this is a campaign that has the support of more than 400,000 New Yorkers.

The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested.

The deployment was unnecessary

This was too urgent, too important, to allow the process to unfold as it has for the last generation.

It's about the reputation of the state of California.

We have too much demand chasing too little supply.

The state argued that under the law cited by the administration, Mr. Trump does not have the legal authority to call up the Guard without permission from the governor.

This deployment comes when California is in the midst of peak wildfire season for both Northern and Southern California and may need to rely on their crucial support.

He’s uplifting Hamas.

Politics in this city won't ever be the same, and it's all thanks to you.
