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

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.

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.

I've always had a very positive relationship with the municipal labor unions - a respectful relationship.

I think like a lot of people in this country I want to see a vision. And, again, that would be true of candidates on all levels. It's time to see a clear, bold vision for progressive economic change.

I haven't smoked marijuana since I was at NYU.

Everything you heard about me is true. . . . I am not a free marketer. . . . I believe in the heavy hand of government.
