In a recent bike ride with mayoral candidate Brad Lander, he discussed his commitment to transparency and engagement in governance. A moment during the ride highlighted his approach when a passerby wished him luck, suggesting he connects with the public. Lander insists on honest dialogue, acknowledging disagreements as natural in New York City. He rejects self-righteousness, advocating for a process that involves community engagement and adherence to city values. Critics label him sanctimonious, indicating a tension between his professorial style and the need for pragmatic leadership in transportation policy under the current mayor's administration.
"I have a track record of living up to the values that I articulate, and being honest with people," Lander said while on a bike ride.
"Not everyone always agrees with all those decisions. So of course, you have tough conversations, and it's New York, people disagree vehemently, and that's what's supposed to happen."
