ERIC ADAMS, 60, DEMOCRAT
Brooklyn’s first Black borough president (elected in 2013), a state senator (2006–13), and a 22-year veteran of the NYPD. Endorsed by: Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., the New York Post. On policing: Bring back the so-called Anti-Crime Unit; has defended a modified stop and frisk. “I’m a big believer in police reform, but I also believe in public safety.” On the economic recovery: Launch a “People’s Plan” to provide around $3,000 in tax credits to poor New Yorkers and free child care for children 3 and under. And reduce crime: “No one is going to open a business in this city when you have a tourist shot at Grand Central station.” What makes him a New Yorker: “The fullness of my life: being a dishwasher as a child, being arrested and beat by police officers, understanding what it’s like to be on the verge of homelessness, and understanding what it’s like to see a city that basically was not there for you.” What the press has missed: “Just how much of a sweetheart I am. I’m a little teddy bear.”
