Democrat Eric Adams won New York City’s mayoral race on promises to boost public safety and give voice to working-class residents, drawing on his experience as a police captain and as a Black man who experienced police brutality as a youth.
He had been expected to win handily in the overwhelmingly Democratic city.
Progressives worry Adams will cater too much to the real estate industry, a powerful lobby that gave generously to his campaign.Adams has not been shy about suggesting that his triumph can serve as a blueprint for national Democrats. He has been dismissive of critics of his agenda on the left who he says do not speak for mainstream Democrats.
But a spike in crime has prompted mayoral candidates across the country to call for more investment in policing, not less, as public safety has risen to the top of many voters’ list of concerns.
