NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams launches run for mayor
City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams announced late Wednesday she will run for mayor this year, jumping into an already crowded primary field that was reshaped by former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s recent entry into the race.
“New Yorkers can’t afford to live here, City Hall is in chaos, and Donald Trump is corrupting our city’s independence. It’s time to stand up,” the speaker said in a statement confirming her plans to run for mayor.
“I never planned to run for mayor, but I’m not giving up on New York City,” she continued. “Our city deserves a leader that serves its people first and always, not someone focused on themselves and their own political interests.”
To officially kick off her campaign, the speaker plans to hold a rally Saturday in her Queens district that will be attended by fellow Council members and other local leaders expected to support her run, according to a source familiar with the matter.
