The two women running to unseat Eric Adams in the 2025 NYC mayor’s race stirred the crowd at the National Action Network‘s annual convention on Thursday, drawing thunderous applause for their pledges to take New York in a new direction and fight President Trump at every turn.
City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and state Sen. Jessica Ramos, both representing opposite sides of Queens, stood out among the group of roughly a dozen candidates who spoke at the convention’s candidates’ forum. The conference is convened each year at the Midtown Manhattan Sheraton hotel by Rev. Al Sharpton.
