NYC mayoral race: City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams says she’s giving ‘serious consideration’ to last-minute run

City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams moved significantly closer to entering the 2025 NYC mayoral race by filing paperwork with the city Campaign Finance Board on Wednesday.

In a statement to amNewYork Metro, the speaker said that she “didn’t seek out running for mayor” but is now starting to give it “increasingly serious consideration” as “more and more serious stakeholders in our city have urged me to consider serving the city in this way.”
