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

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 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 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.

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

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

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