His story, His own words
We talked to the mayor of the greatest city in the world. Discussed his challenges, his priorities and a bit of what’s the come. Dive into the Parle New York Mayor Eric Adams interview…

Mayor Bill de Blasio had left the city in a precarious state and Covid-19 created new norms, but Eric Adams was willing to step in and take up the reins, even if that meant he would never truly be loved or appreciated for his efforts.
