Mayor Bill de Blasio all but declared his run for governor Tuesday, as the lame duck said he wants to remain in public office after he leaves City Hall at the end of this year.
Hizzoner has not officially announced his intentions, but sources told the New York Post that he’s running for the state’s top office next year.
“I do want to continue in public service, I do want to do more for the people of this city and this state,” he told reporters during his daily virtual press briefing on Nov. 2.
De Blasio filed paperwork with the state’s Board of Elections last week to form a committee dubbed “New Yorkers for a Fair Future,” reported Politico, and the mayor said it would be a “vehicle” to talk about issues facing the Empire State.
