State Sen. Jessica Ramos and City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams are key contenders in the 2025 NYC mayoral race, seeking to unseat incumbent Eric Adams. They engaged the audience at the National Action Network's annual convention, emphasizing a need for a new direction free from corruption and drama. Despite trailing behind more prominent candidates in polls, they harness energy reminiscent of Kamala Harris’ campaign. Speaker Adams noted her late entry to the race was motivated by the recent exodus of key city officials, demonstrating the need for strong leadership in a challenging political landscape.
"The city needs a leader...something different. We need to go without trauma, without drama, without scandal, without corruption. I took a deep breath and jumped in."
"The momentum I feel is a continuation of the enthusiasm among Black women for Kamala Harris' presidential campaign. This energy is real and necessary for change."
