Adrienne Adams Discusses Mayoral Candidacy and Vision for New York City

I've seen where people say in my camp have said, mention it, mention it, mention it to be the first woman mayor. And then I've seen in other places where I've actually spoken out and said, know I would Be the first woman mayor, you know, and people have gone, women, it doesn't matter. Man, woman, whatever. You're going to be our mayor. So it is very, very hard to determine what that thing is that matters to some and doesn't matter to others. (14:55–15:04)
