NEW YORK – New York City Mayor Eric Adams today endorsed Governor Kathy Hochul for a full term. He applauded the governor’s commitment to working together to fight back against gun violence and build a safer, stronger New York for all.

Mayor Adams was elected in 2021, becoming the 110th mayor of New York City. Together, Governor Hochul and the mayor are working collaboratively to crack down on illegal guns, strengthen public safety, expand childcare, and build a more affordable New York.

“Mayor Adams and I are proving what a strong partnership can achieve when leaders are united in delivering results for New Yorkers,” said Governor Kathy Hochul. “Since taking office, we have worked together to tackle some of the city’s most pressing issues, from public safety to housing to getting our economy back on track. We are committed to building a new chapter in our state’s history that’s focused on teamwork, collaboration, and progress over politics. Mayor Adams and I will continue to get things done for New Yorkers, and I’m honored to have his endorsement.”

“Before I took office, Governor Hochul and I sat down and immediately found we shared the same priorities – the priorities of working people: public safety, childcare, housing and a more affordable New York,” said Mayor Eric Adams. “Since then, Gov. Hochul has been a true partner, working on behalf of everyday New Yorkers—and it’s yielded real results. I look forward to continuing that work for years to come with Gov. Hochul and collaborating to lift this city and state to new heights.”
