Former Mayor Bill de Blasio will not run for governor, after months of speculation that the politician was looking to ascend from Gracie Mansion to the Governor’s Mansion.
“I am not going to be running for governor of New York State, but I am going to devote every fiber of my being to fight inequality in the state of New York,” the former mayor said outside his Park Slope, Brooklyn, home in a video posted on Twitter Tuesday, Jan. 18.
