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

At a certain point, particularly in his third term, Mayor Bloomberg lost touch with the people he was serving.

We are New Yorkers. Proud citizens of the greatest city on earth. Thinking big isn't new to us. It is the very foundation of who we are.

I am very much a Red Sox fan; I can name you more players than you could possibly imagine. It's just part of who I am.

I think Bloomberg's broad vision of the environment in New York City is something I agree with. I broadly stand with his vision for how to deal with climate change and prepare for future weather events.

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

My professional life has been about public service. My personal life I define very intently through my family.
