Interview with New York City Mayoral Candidate on Community, Education, and Housing

But I put together the kind of office that is ready to do big things, and I fully intend to do that as mayor of New York City. Also, the pandemic, I know we're still going through it and people are being vaccinated right now. And there's been a lot of issues in trying to figure out how to take on a role like that. What would you do if you were mayor right now in terms of fighting the pandemic? And what will you do if you were to win in tackling pandemic related issues? We didn't know that the virus was here. Think back to a year ago, right? No one anticipated or expected it, but the one thing we knew when the virus arrived, that the vaccine was in the works. (11:52–12:19)
