I will fight antisemitism.

We can be free. And we can be fed.

New York, if we have made one thing clear over these past months, it is that we need not choose between the two.

I do not want to police speech as the mayor of New York.

I know people for whom those things mean very different things.

I fight for working people. I fight for the very people who have been priced out of this city.

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.

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.

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…

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.

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.
