NYC MAYOR ERIC ADAMS LAUNCHES REELECTION BID AS INDEPENDENT-The Republican candidate is Curtis Sliwa
New York City’s incumbent Mayor Eric Adams has launched his reelection campaign.
Adams said the election is a choice between a candidate with a blue collar and one with a silver spoon, “A choice between someone who delivered lower crime, the most jobs in history and the most houses built in decades and an assembly member who did not pass a bill.”
Adams, who ran and won as a Democrat in his first mayoral bid in 2021, announced In April that he would run for reelection as an independent
The Republican candidate this fall will be Curtis Sliwa, the founder of the Guardian Angels. Jim Walden, a former federal prosecutor, is running as an independent, as well. Cuomo also retains the ability to run as an independent, though he has not yet decided whether to do so.
