IN PUBLIC SERVICE: ‘I’m Not New To This, I’m True To This.’
Adams Focuses on Five Borough Coalition And Citywide Desire For Service & Change
This year’s mayoral election will determine the course of our city for years to come. Now more than ever, we need someone with the vision and lived experience to lead this city out of this dark period.
New York has been through a lot in the past 15 months. COVID-19 has claimed more than 33,000 of our neighbors’ lives. Hundreds of small businesses have been forced to make cutbacks to stay afloat, or close their doors permanently. 550,000 New Yorkers are still out of a job. Many are facing displacement from their homes. We are also confronting a troubling citywide surge in gun violence, disproportionately concentrated in Black and Brown neighborhoods.
We are at a pivotal moment in our city’s history, and we need leadership that meets this moment. My life of experience shows I’m the right person for the job.
