Battle of New York: who is in the race for mayor of the city

New York will hold a mayoral election in the fall of 2021. The primaries will take place in June, and until then, new candidates can join or leave the race. About who participates in the race today, the newspaper writes CityLimits.

A public campaign of speeches, debates, mailings and advertisements will be rolled out over the next few months. Here is a summary of potential candidates for the new mayor of New York.

Applicants

Eric Adams. Adams is a former New York City police officer and an active critic of police policy during the Giuliani and Bloomberg administrations. He retired as captain of the New York City Police Department and later won the State Senate elections after serving four terms. In 2013, he was elected to the office of President of the Brooklyn Area.

Recently, he has focused on health issues, advocating for public measures to support the consumption of plant foods.

He has over two million dollars in his bank account. He is expected to receive significant support in Brooklyn and among black voters.

Candidate Profile Twitter.

Shaun Donovan. Donovan has no electoral experience, but has deep experience in civil service in New York and Washington. As a federal housing officer for Clinton and the early administration of George W. Bush, he served as Mayor Bloomberg's Housing Commissioner from 2004 to 2009, when the administration launched the New Housing Marketplace, an affordable housing program. Donovan then joined the Obama administration, first as Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, then as Director of the White House Bureau of Management and Budget.

Announcing his intention to become mayor earlier this year, Donovan quickly raised a decent amount of money. His connections with Bloomberg may not appeal to the left, but others will appreciate his connection to the more business-friendly administration, as well as his connections in Washington.
