We have come too far to go back, my friends.

My parents were divorced when I was young. I was really brought up by my mother's side of the family.

I have a bold plan to break from the Bloomberg years, and end the 'Tale of Two Cities' by providing real opportunity to all New Yorkers, no matter where they live.

Going back to high school and college, I believed I would be involved in public service. I literally could not conceptualize anything else.

I think a lot of the best ideas come from the grassroots; I'm someone who does not like a bunker mentality and does not like groupthink.

I think unionization is good public policy. I think when families secure their economic future, that's good for everyone.

I have an activist's desire to improve people's lives.
