This polo shirt that I'm wearing that says Eric Adams, mayor of the City of New York, I'm going to wear that for another four years. We can't go backwards. We can't have a city that's filled with encampments like I inherited. We can't have a city where crime and guns are on our streets like I inherited. We can't have a city where unemployment was high across the city, but specifically for black and brown communities like I inherited. While children were not getting a quality education like I inherited. (00:38–00:44)
