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

A holistic solution to income inequality is going to take a lot of work, but every time you prove that one of the strands is achievable and that it has a positive impact on people's lives you take another step towards proving the bigger theory of the case.

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

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.

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

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 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.
