I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

The Working Families Party has fought for a more affordable New York for decades. I am honored to lead their slate as their first choice for Mayor. Our city is done with the corrupt politics of the past and ready for a new generation of leadership. Let’s win it together.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

I am going to talk about every video game I have ever played, in chronological order: 4. Pole Position - I also had to sit on my Dad’s lap to play this. It felt like I was sure going fast! Then, boom, the car explodes. I remember being so pumped that when I later saw it in the move D.A.R.Y.L.

I am going to talk about every video game I have ever played, in chronological order: 3. Missile Command - First time I ever touched a trackball, just spun it wildly. I had no idea how to play the game.

I am going to talk about every video game I have ever played, in chronological order: 2. Pac-Man: My Mom was playing it, she lifted me up so I could the controller and promptly lead Pac-Man to implosion at the hands of a ghost.

I am going to talk about every video game I have ever played, in chronological order: 1. Star Wars (Arcade) - I had to sit on my Father’s lap in the giant cabinet. I didn’t know what Star Wars was then, but I liked the flashing lights on the screen.
