NY is the city it is today in part because of the contributions from generations of artistic visionaries

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.

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

There are families of every kind. I think a lot of people are struggling to make sense of their identity in a very complicated world.

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.

While this has been a private part of my family's life, it is now clear a media story will soon emerge. My father tragically ended his life while battling terminal cancer in 1979.

We do not ask more of the wealthy to punish success. We do it to create more success stories.
