Seeking to give Adrienne Adams a boost in the 2025 NYC mayor’s race, state Attorney General Letitia James and the leaders of three prominent unions on Wednesday rallied to trumpet the City Council speaker as the best mayoral candidate to take on President Trump and block former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s path to City Hall.
James, District Council 37 (DC37) Executive Director Henry Garrido, CWA Local 1180 President Gloria Middleton, and UNITE HERE Local 100 President José Maldonado gathered at DC 37’s Lower Manhattan headquarters on April 23 to endorse Speaker Adams in the June 24 Democratic mayoral primary. They sold the speaker as a “no drama” leader who would defend the city from Trump’s deep cuts to the social safety net.
