Jessica Ramos, a progressive Queens state Senator, on Friday officially became the latest candidate to jump into the 2025 race to unseat Mayor Eric Adams, who finds himself in a precarious position after his second police commissioner resigned Thursday following federal raids on several top administration officials last week.
Ramos, a Democrat who has served in Albany’s upper chamber since 2019, launched her bid in an online video posted early Friday morning after rumors flew that she was mulling a run for nearly a year.
