“My vision for the city is to put the city back on track again. We are so tired of the trauma, we are so tired of the drama, we are tired of the scandal,” said City Council Speaker and mayoral candidate Adrienne Adams.

“As the first woman mayor of the City of New York I’m going to bring no scandal, no drama, no nonsense — just integrity and competence. That’s what the city needs. People are looking for a change, and I’m the change the city needs.”
In the latest in the pod’s series of sitdown interviews with the Democratic mayoral candidates, Adams talked about her late entry into the race “when I saw four deputy mayors resign at the same time and it appeared to be because our mayor decided to cozy up to the chaotic Donald Trump — I saw the brains walk out of the computer. And I saw the crumbling of the infrastructure of New York City and I could not sit back and do nothing about it.”
Speaker Adams also discussed why she’s “more optimistic than last year this time” negotiating a budget with Mayor Eric Adams (no relation) while running against him, the difference between growing up in Hollis, Queens compared to Andrew Cuomo’s upbringing in affluent Holliswood, Queens, her plan to provide a guaranteed minimum income to more than 21,000 homeless children and young adults, and much more with hosts Christina Greer, Katie Honan and Harry Siegel.
