When Eric Adams arrived on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, he received a warm welcome from members of the state’s congressional delegation but also a pointed reminder about the importance of unity.
At a closed-door meeting of New York Democratic elected officials, Representative Nydia M. Velázquez advised Mr. Adams, the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, to avoid any appearance of criticizing members of the delegation, according to seven people familiar with the exchange.

A key ally of Eric Adams, the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, met with a group of Orthodox leaders in Brooklyn on Tuesday following a bitter primary last month.
“Adams is building his core team to make sure that there’s a voice in every part, every corner of the city in New York,” Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn, chairwoman of the Kings County Democratic Party who has worked closely with Adams in recent years, told the community leaders during a roundtable discussion in Borough Park.
Adams, the Brooklyn borough president, was certified as the winner, beating his closest rival, Kathryn Garcia, a former sanitation commissioner, by just over 7,000 votes. Adams and Andrew Yang, who was the leading favorite in the early months of the campaign, aggressively courted Orthodox voting blocs, ultimately splitting their share of the vote.
