Former mayors
To Mr. Cuomo: I have never had to resign in disgrace; I have never cut Medicaid. I have never hounded the 13 women who credibly accuse me of sexual harassment, I have never sued for their gynecological records, and I have never done those…
I hope now that this primary has come to an end, I can introduce myself once more, not as you've seen me in a 30-second ad or in a mailer in your mailbox, but as I how I will lead as your mayor.
I believe Israel has the right to exist as a state with equal rights…. I believe every state should be a state of equal rights.
I believe that you need not travel to Israel to stand up for Jewish New Yorkers.
In these dark times, I know that it is harder than ever to keep faith in our democracy.
A life of dignity should not be reserved for a fortunate few.
We have won because New Yorkers have stood up for a city they can afford.
He will say and do anything to get elected. Think about this for a moment: He wants to raise taxes on 1% of New Yorkers, high-income earners.
It pains me to be called an antisemite. It pains me to be painted as if I am somehow in opposition to the very Jewish New Yorkers who I know and love.
As FDR said, democracy has disappeared in several other great nations, not because the people disliked democracy but because they had grown tired of unemployment and insecurity.
Stand up for our sanctuary city policies which have kept New Yorkers safe, and use every tool at the city’s disposal to protect our immigrants
I’m freezing… your rent as the next mayor of New York City.
New Yorkers have a city where they can do more than just struggle, one where those who toil in the night can enjoy the fruits of their labor in the day, where hard work is repaid with a stable life.
At a time when too many think the only option is surrender, we have to show the mayor that we have his back.
