The race for mayor: Can Adrienne Adams (D) become NYC's first woman mayor?
With the June 24 Democratic primary fast approaching, City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams sat down with NY1’s Errol Louis to discuss her run for mayor. A late addition to the race, Adams emphasized her leadership style, which she says is based on appointing competent, community-based leaders. The episode marks the eighth and final installment of the “You Decide” mayoral candidate interview series.
Adams discussed her views on budgeting, the legislative achievements of a majority-female City Council and innovative approaches to address mental health and public safety. She also shared her personal background, education at Spelman College and insights on the importance of diverse leadership in the city.
