Unlike Mayor Bloomberg, whose Deputy Mayor was able to bring his substantial wealth to the table, we'll just be bringing New York City's wealth to the table. But a Deputy Mayor for Arts and Cultural life will lead it. I'll support creative workers to build sustainable careers in the arts and culture by enforcing the Freelancers in Free act, which I was proud to sponsor as a City Council member, which has already helped thousands of freelancers and artists get millions of dollars back in their pockets that they would have been cheated out of. We'll expand portable benefits for creative workers, including NYC Care retirement savings programs and innovative homeownership programs as well. You shouldn't have to have a W2 to be able to become a homeowner in the city. (07:13–07:32)
