Mayoral candidate Eric Adams picked up the endorsements of a half dozen elected officials from Queens at his campaign event outside Jamaica Colosseum Mall Friday where he announced his “Heart of the City” plan for revitalization of the outer boroughs.
Adams grew up in South Jamaica and graduated from Bayside High School before joining the NYPD and eventually the political arena.
“Our city is facing many tough problems and we need a strong leader to be our new mayor, someone to help bring our city back to vibrancy following the coronavirus pandemic, civil unrest and economic decline,” state Senator James Sanders said. “There is only one candidate with the strength, the knowledge and the fortitude to take on these issues and usher us into a new age of prosperity, and that candidate is Eric Adams. His long-time career in public service speaks for itself: two decades in law enforcement, three terms as a New York State Senator and now Brooklyn Borough President since 2014. He gets the job done. I am proud to endorse Eric Adams as the next Mayor of New York City.”
