In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Chris Alexander is the single most thoughtful, caring and dedicated public servant I have ever had the privilege of working with

I’ve never seen anyone else in government care this much about the people they served

Thank you Chris for the work you’ve done in New York

The NYC earthquake has me thinking about how my world shook when you walked away. I should have understood your importance in the grand Richter Scale of things. I guess I just wish you were still the epicenter of my life. Anyway you don’t have to text back.

Sources say that New Yorkers should expect a swarm of locusts following the earthquake, floods and eclipse. Rumblings of concern about plagues so soon before Passover
