Andrew Cuomo: “I announced my candidacy today for mayor of New York City.”

“I am not saying this is going to be easy. It won't be easy. But I know we can turn the city around. And I believe I can help. And that is why I announced my candidacy today for mayor of New York City. I am a lifelong New Yorker and I love New York. And I want New York to not only survive, but for New York to thrive. For my children and for yours.” (16:56–17:01)
