While
Scott Stringer is losing ground in the Democratic primary race for NYC Mayor due to the sexual misconduct allegations against him, his rival,
Eric Adams is gaining ground by picking up a slew of endorsements. Across the boroughs from The Bronx to Queens to Brooklyn and Staten Island, workers’ groups and elected officials are jumping on board Team Adams.
Queens Borough President Donovan Richards just became the latest city heavyweight to join in the big push to get Eric Adams into City Hall. In the endorsement announcement in front of Queens Borough Hall, Richards touted Adams’ experience noting that the city is at a critical juncture and needs battle tested leadership that would not be afraid to make tough decisions. The Queens BP said that though he neither agrees with all of Adam’s policy decisions or platforms, he has watched him lead for nearly two decades.
