For more information about each candidate's policies, click here.

On September 28, 2025, incumbent Eric Adams (D) announced that he was withdrawing his candidacy from the race.[3] In a video posted on social media, Adams said, "Despite all we've achieved, I cannot continue my re-election campaign. The constant media speculation about my future and the campaign finance board's decision to withhold millions of dollars have undermined my ability to raise the funds needed for a serious campaign."[4]Adams initially ran in the Democratic primary, but withdrew on April 3 to run as an independent.[5]

Mamdani supports creating city-run grocery stores, implementing rent freezes, and increasing taxes on the top 1% of New York City earners.[6] Sliwa's website criticizes the city's metrics for determining what's affordable, and says he would lower taxes and convert commercial buildings into housing.[7] Cuomo has released a plan to expand food benefits and provide free transit for city residents at 150% of the poverty line.[8]

Mamdani has campaigned on creating a Department of Community Safety to help treat mental illness and ending the department's Strategic Response Group, a counter-terrorist unit.[9][6] Sliwa says he wants to hire 7,000 additional police officers and reinstate the department's Anti-Crime Unit and expand its Gang Unit.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag Cuomo has campaigned to expand the Strategic Response Group and hire 5,000 new officers.[10]

President Donald Trump (R) has not publicly supported a candidate, but has criticized Mamdani.[11] Mamdani is campaigning against Trump and says his policies would protect New Yorkers from Trump's agenda.[12] Sliwa says he does not want Trump to be involved in the race and that he should focus on the country's politics.[13] Cuomo says he is the most experienced candidate to take on Trump, due to his experience as governor.[14] According to The New York Times, Cuomo and Trump have been in contact with each other, though both men deny having any contact.[15]

Jean Anglade (I), Irene Estrada (I), Kyle Gutierrez (I), Joseph Hernandez (I), Abbey Laurel-Smith (I), Montell Moseley (I), and Karen Stachel (I) are also running.

Irene Estrada (Conservative Party), James Walden (Integrity Party), Jean Anglade (Independent), Montell Moseley (Independent), Karen Stachel (Independent), and Fátimazöhra Nouinou (R) completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey. To read those survey responses, click here.

As of 2024, New York had term limits for the position of mayor: Mayors could serve two consecutive four-year terms and then could only hold office again after one full term out of office.

Submitted Biography "I am writing to bring to your attention my candidacy for mayor of New York City. I am Ms. Montell C. Moseley, a Republican, and working families, but most importantly, I am a daughter, mother, and dedicated servant of a diverse community. I have spent my life, in service to others from assisting Holocaust survivors to advocating for our vulnerable population through my nonprofit (RAPCCCINC.COM). My path has not been one of privilege or ease, but perseverance, hard work won lessons, and an unwavering belief in the power of compassion and action. I am not a career politician, but a fighter for working families, a champion of our diverse communities, and a passionate advocate for those who often go unheard. Although my first run for public office as a write-in candidate for the 24th District City Council seat in Queens was unsuccessful, I gained valuable experience. I had the opportunity to address the Electrical Union, connect to young people at local youth basketball games, and sponsor. And cosponsored and organized marches with police detectives for gun violence awareness in the Queens community. As Your Mayor, I will not forget the lessons of my faith or the struggles of our people. I will be a leader who has a commonsense mindset and understands the needs of American families come first."

Make New York City Clean, Safe and Modern Again!

My campaign encompasses the following:

1- Cleanliness

A clean city is essential for public health, tourism, economic growth, and the overall quality of life. My administration will take bold action to ensure New York City remains a world-class metropolis by implementing the following initiatives: - Strengthening Sanitation Services - Cracking Down on Illegal Dumping and Littering - Tackling Rodent and Pest Infestations - Expanding Green Public Spaces - Cleaning Parks - Modernizing Waste & Recycling Infrastructure

By prioritizing cleanliness, we can improve public health, attract businesses and tourism, and foster a sense of civic pride among all New Yorkers.

2- Homelessness

My Strategies to Address Homelessness are:

- Increase Affordable Housing - Enhance Shelter Systems - Strengthen Prevention Programs - Address Systemic Barriers - Foster Community Partnerships - Utilize Data-Driven Approaches

By adopting these strategies, we can work towards a future where homelessness is rare, brief, and nonrecurring, ensuring that all New Yorkers have access to safe and stable housing.

3- Establishing judicial reform

Establishing judicial reform in New York City is essential to ensure a fair, efficient, and transparent justice system that serves all residents equitably.

My Key Strategies for Judicial Reform are: - Discovery Law Reforms - Bail System Evaluation - Sentencing Reform - Court Simplification - Community-Based Justice Initiatives - Addressing Jail Conditions

By implementing these strategies, we can work towards a judicial system in New York City that upholds justice, maintains public safety, and ensures equitable treatment for all residents.

James Walden (Integrity)

New Yorkers deserve a government that works for them, not for patrons, cronies and parties. I’ve pledged to reject PAC money, publish all lobbyist meetings, and create a citywide department to investigate and prosecute corruption in every agency up to City Hall. As Mayor, I’ll put people over politics by increasing transparency, strengthening accountability, and being present in every borough. Every New Yorker—regardless of background or income—deserves equal access and a mayor who works for them.

New Yorkers need to feel safe on every street, in playgrounds and on the subway. We have to support cops. We’re down many police officers while we have a ballooning overtime budget and have mentally ill people living on the street. As Mayor, I’ll restore accountability for quality-of-life crimes like vandalism, fare evasion, and public disorder. Together we will bring back the safe, vibrant city we all remember—where families, workers, and small businesses can thrive.

New Yorkers are being priced out of the city they love. I have a detailed plan to build over 50,000 truly affordable units each year. I’ll cut red tape, fast-track development, and turn vacant lots and underused city property into housing. I’ll also overhaul our outdated property tax system to shift the burden away from working families in every neighborhood. The path to a stronger city starts with making it affordable again for all who call it home.

Jean Anglade (Independent)

I am passionate about policies that lower the cost of living, create better job opportunities, and ensure fairness in law enforcement. My priorities include improving workers’ rights, education, police accountability, small business funding, and affordable housing. I will also focus on auto insurance reform, gas price reduction, boosting the minimum wage, cutting mortgage, city, and state taxes, funding Catholic schools and churches, increasing school funding, and lowering food costs. Additionally, I will work on mental health services, homelessness solutions, and infrastructure improvements to make NYC a cleaner, safer, and more livable city for all.

Irene Estrada (Conservative)

Public safety must be our top priority. Crime has risen, and we all deserve better. We need to hire more Police Officers and a stronger community presence. A balanced approach is necessary to support law enforcement and the communities they serve. We must restore trust, reduce crime and make the greatest city safe again!

Montell Moseley (Independent)

Our schools must be sanctuaries of learning, where every child can feel safe and succeed. That means securing the funds to upgrade the security system, with a camera and buzz-in entry, so we know who's coming into our schools. It's all about giving our teachers, paraprofessionals, Physical and occupational, speech therapists, and principals the resources they need to create a safe, nurturing environment, where every student can thrive. Support our unions. I have designed a specialized program for the parents' teacher association and increased funds.
As a dedicated Candidate for NYC Mayor, I am personally passionate about several key public policy areas that directly impact the well-being and prosperity of their city.

According to the National League of Cities ’s 2024 State of the Cities report, I nationwide prioritize: - Economic Development - Infrastructure - Housing - Public Health - Public Safety

Additionally, I focus on: - Education - Environmental Sustainability - Social Equity

By passionately engaging in these areas, I can lead my city toward a more prosperous, equitable, and sustainable future.

Crime

I plan to pinpoint crime and laser focus police to stop crime and repair the issues that allow crime to exist. Hit and runs will be dealt with by installing speed bumps where these crimes happen.

Homelessness

Homeless people are living in crisis. This is my number one issue to fix once and for all. Finding homes for the homeless will be something I plan to attack. I will analyze the situation, find unchecked resources. A humane touch is what it takes to fix homelessness.

Anti Semitism

Being in an Inter-racial marriage, I understand the prejudice towards, or discrimination against Jewish people and it will not be tolerated in NYC under my watch. All hate crime incidents will be prosecuted.

James Walden (Integrity)

I’ve spent my career fighting for public safety and government integrity. As a mafia prosecutor, I helped dismantle organized crime networks that were terrorizing New Yorkers. We made the city safer, one case at a time. As an attorney, I’ve focused on “good government” litigation—cases that help restore public trust and improve how city agencies serve New Yorkers. I’ve learned how NYC works from 30 years of representing whistleblowers, politicians and citizens wronged by government.

Jean Anglade (Independent)

I look up to God as the ultimate example of love, justice, and compassion. God’s guidance shapes the way I approach leadership, reminding me to always act with fairness, empathy, and a deep respect for others. In following God’s example, I strive to lead with humility, integrity, and a commitment to serving others. I believe that by staying grounded in these principles, I can make the best decisions for every New Yorker, no matter their background or circumstances.

I look up to Deborah in the Bible, a true example of strength, grit, and wisdom. She was a courageous leader, prophet, and judge who led her people with faith and conviction during one of Israel’s most difficult times. Deborah inspired others to rise with bravery and purpose, showing that leadership is not about power, but about service and trust in God’s guidance. I strive to follow her example—to lead with integrity, stand firm in truth, and use wisdom and faith to uplift others and bring unity where it’s needed most.

I would recommend “The New Jim Crow” by Michelle Alexander, which exposes systemic injustices and the need for legal and policy reforms. Additionally, “The Power Broker” by Robert Caro highlights how political leadership shapes New York City, and why it’s crucial for a mayor to fight for the people, not the political elite.
To deepen my understanding of ethical, moral, constitutional, professional, and political philosophy, I would consider and recommend the following:

- Buying a Book "Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?" by Michael Sandel: This thought-provoking book explores fundamental questions of justice, morality, and politics.

- Reading an Essay "The Social Contract" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau {excerpts}: This influential essay lays the groundwork for modern political philosophy, discussing the nature of society, governance, and individual rights.

- Watching a Film "The Post" [2017]: Directed by Steven Spielberg, this film tells the story of the Pentagon Papers and the Washington Post's decision to publish them, raising essential questions about government accountability, freedom of the press, and individual conscience.

Additionally, I would have the following recommendations:

- Book: "The Republic" by Plato - Essay: "The Declaration of Independence" [1776] - Film: "Lincoln" {2012}

These resources will provide a solid foundation for exploring the complexities of ethical, moral, constitutional, professional, and political philosophy.

An elected official must be honest, accountable, and committed to serving the people. They should have the courage to challenge unjust policies, the integrity to put residents before politics, and the determination to fight for fair wages, lower costs, and better public services. Leadership requires listening to the people, being transparent in decision-making, and taking real action to improve lives.

The core responsibility of a mayor is to lead with collaboration and clarity. A strong mayor must work closely with every city agency to ensure efficiency, accountability, and progress. Keeping open lines of communication across departments allows for a unified vision, one that serves residents, strengthens communities, and ensures that every policy, service and initiative moves the city forward together.
As a chief executive of a metropolitan city, a mayor's core responsibilities typically include:

1- Economic Development Job creation and business growth Economic diversification Infrastructure development 2- Fiscal Management Budgeting and financial planning Revenue generation Debt management 3- Public Safety and Health Law enforcement and emergency services Public health initiatives Disaster preparedness and response 4- Education and Community Development Education partnerships Community engagement and outreach Neighborhood revitalization 5- Environmental Sustainability and Infrastructure Environmental protection Transportation and mobility Urban planning and development 6- International Relations and Tourism Diplomatic relations Tourism development Global competitiveness 7- Accountability and Transparency Open government initiatives Ethics and integrity Performance metrics and evaluation

In addition, I am currently experiencing another important milestone as I pursue my degree at WGU.

It was a moment that changed our city—and our world—forever. I remember the fear, the sadness, but also the incredible unity that followed. New Yorkers came together with strength, compassion, and resilience, reminding me of what it truly means to stand together as one city.

One of the struggles I’ve encountered has been witnessing and experiencing the damaging effects of police racial profiling, harassment, and intimidation tactics, such as unjustly issuing tickets that lead to license suspensions and false arrests.

I’ve seen how these systemic issues harm everyday people, making it harder for them to thrive.

A mayor is the highest-ranking official in a municipal government, responsible for overseeing the day-to-day administration of the city. This leader is essentially the chief executive officer, ensuring the smooth operation of city services, infrastructure, and policies.

The mayor's duties can vary depending on the city charter, local laws, and customs. However, common responsibilities include:

- Appointing and overseeing municipal managers and employees: The mayor selects key personnel to manage various city departments.

- Providing basic governmental services: This includes ensuring public safety, maintaining infrastructure, and providing essential services like water and sanitation.

- Executing laws and ordinances: The mayor enforces local laws and regulations, working closely with the city council and other stakeholders.

- Representing the city: As the official representative, the mayor promotes the city's interests, fosters partnerships, and engages with citizens.

In terms of governance structure, mayors can be either directly elected by citizens or selected by the city council. The mayor's term length also varies, typically ranging from two to six years.

Overall, a mayor plays a vital role in shaping the city's vision, policies, and services, working collaboratively with the city council, citizens, and other stakeholders to build a thriving community.

It means showing up in every borough, listening directly to residents, and making decisions based on what’s right, not what’s politically convenient.

A mayor sets the tone for service —and I will strive to be someone New Yorkers are proud to be represented by every day.

If the mayor is a member of the city council with a city manager overseeing the day-to-day operations, the mayor’s top priority should be ensuring strong communication and collaboration between the city council, the city manager, and residents. The mayor must lead the charge in setting the city’s overall vision and policy priorities, while ensuring the city manager’s administration stays aligned with the needs and expectations of the public. The mayor should also prioritize addressing the concerns of all communities, focusing on affordable housing, public safety, and creating jobs.
If the mayor is a member of the city council and there is a city manager appointed to handle the day-to-day administration of the city government, the mayor's top priority in office would likely be:

1- Legislative Leadership - Policy development: Focus on developing and implementing policies that align with the city's strategic goals and priorities. - Council leadership: Provide leadership and guidance to the city council, facilitating collaboration and consensus-building among council members. - Community engagement: Engage with citizens, businesses, and community organizations to understand their needs, concerns, and priorities.

2- Strategic Visioning - Long-term planning: Work with the city council, city manager, and stakeholders to develop and implement a long-term vision for the city. - Goal setting: Establish clear goals and objectives for the city, aligning with the strategic plan. - Performance monitoring: Oversee the city's progress toward its goals, making adjustments as needed.

3- Representation and Advocacy - Representing the city: Serve as the official representative of the city, promoting its interests and image. - Advocating for the city: Advocate for the city's needs and interests at the regional, state, and national levels. - Building partnerships: Foster partnerships with other governments, businesses, and organizations to support the city's goals and priorities.

By focusing on legislative leadership, strategic visioning, and representation and advocacy, the mayor can provide effective leadership and guidance to the city council and city manager, ensuring the city achieves its goals and priorities.

If the mayor oversees the city’s daily operations, the ideal relationship between the mayor and city council should be one of mutual respect and collaboration. The mayor should work closely with the council to ensure legislation is passed that benefits every community—from lowering costs of living to improving safety and job opportunities. The mayor should also respect the council’s role in representing their districts while guiding the city towards common goals. A strong partnership between the mayor and council is critical to ensuring government accountability and responsiveness to the needs of the people.

An ideal relationship between the mayor and the City Council should be grounded in open communication, collaboration, and respect. Both must look past political differences to focus on their shared mission—the best interests of all New Yorkers. By working hand in hand, listening to one another, and finding common ground, they can create policies that strengthen communities and ensure a brighter, more united future for our city.
If the mayor is not a member of the city council and oversees the day-to-day administration of the city government, the ideal relationship between the mayor and the city council would be:

1- Separation of Powers with Collaboration - Clear distinction of roles: The mayor focuses on executive responsibilities, while the city council exercises legislative authority. - Respectful communication: Regular, open dialogue to ensure mutual understanding of goals, challenges, and priorities. - Collaborative problem-solving: Working together to address complex city challenges, such as budgeting, public safety, and infrastructure development.

2- Checks and Balances - Council oversight: The city council provides oversight of the mayor's administration, ensuring accountability and transparency. - Mayoral veto power: The mayor has the authority to veto council decisions, with the council having the option to override the veto. - Balanced decision-making: Both the mayor and city council contribute to decision-making processes, preventing any one entity from dominating.

3- Supportive but Independent - Independent decision-making: The city council maintains its independence to make decisions, ask questions, and provide oversight. - Mayoral support: The mayor provides guidance, resources, and expertise to support the council's decision-making process. - Citizen engagement: Both the mayor and city council collaborate to promote citizen participation, engagement, and feedback.

By maintaining a balance of power, respecting each other's roles, and collaborating on key issues, the mayor and city council can work together effectively to serve the city's best interests.

The cost of living is too high—rent, food, gas, and insurance costs must be lowered.

Wages are not keeping up with inflation, making it hard for all workers to survive.

Public safety and police accountability must be balanced properly.


Homelessness and mental health crises need real solutions, not band-aid fixes.

NYC’s infrastructure is aging, and we must invest in repairs and upgrades.

Corruption and political mismanagement continue to hold the city back.

I believe the city’s greatest challenge over the next decade is getting back to the basics—restoring law and order, peace, and unity.

The ideal relationship between the city and the state government should be one of collaboration, mutual respect, and shared objectives. The state provides valuable resources, funding, and policy frameworks that help support the city’s development, but it is essential that New York City retains the authority to make decisions that best reflect its residents’ needs. The state should actively support the city’s priorities, such as investing in affordable housing, improving public transportation, enhancing educational opportunities, and addressing homelessness. At the same time, the city government should work closely with the state legislature to advocate for policies that will benefit its diverse population, particularly when it comes to securing funding for mental health services, job creation, and small business development. Additionally, the state should provide flexibility and autonomy for the city to address local issues while ensuring that state and city policies align on key issues like public safety, climate change, and economic stability. The relationship must be rooted in effective communication, with both levels of government working together to provide a higher quality of life for all New Yorkers, especially low-income and vulnerable communities.

My ideal relationship between the city and state government is one built on communication, cooperation, and shared responsibility. We must come together to openly discuss the issues that impact our people and communities and find real solutions that make a difference. When city and state leaders work toward the common goal of serving residents together, we create stronger, more united communities and a brighter future for all New Yorkers.

The ideal relationship between city and state is that way the state has the city's back. The state is there is needed. The city is not alone.

The ideal relationship between the city and the federal government should be one of support and partnership. The federal government plays a critical role in providing resources that can help New York City tackle its most pressing challenges, such as affordable housing, healthcare, job creation, and climate change. However, it is important that the city maintains its autonomy in determining the best solutions for its residents. The federal government should respect the unique needs of the city, especially in areas like public transportation, education, and public safety. The mayor must serve as a strong advocate for the city, ensuring that federal resources are allocated to areas that benefit all New Yorkers, especially the low-income and no-income populations. The city should also work with the federal government to secure grants and funding for public health programs, infrastructure improvements, and support for small businesses. A robust collaboration between the city and federal government will ensure that New York City receives the necessary support to build a stronger, safer, and more prosperous future for everyone.

My ideal relationship between the city and the federal government is one rooted in respect, accountability, and partnership. The challenges facing New York—whether in policing, economics, or immigration—require serious attention and consistent collaboration. Too often, our city’s concerns are set aside without real solutions. It’s time to strengthen cooperation, ensure our voices are heard, and work together to restore order, stability, and progress for all New Yorkers

Federal government in relation to the city is that, we comply with their demands but they leave government to the city not to the federal government.

The mayor must ensure fair, accountable, and community-focused policing.

I support : Ending quota-based policing that leads to unnecessary arrests.

Strengthening police accountability through an independent oversight body.

Prioritizing community-controlled police hiring so officers reflect the communities they serve.

Investing in public safety beyond policing, such as mental health services and youth programs.

The goal is real public safety—where all New Yorkers feel protected, not targeted.

My ideal relationship between the mayor and law enforcement is built on respect, trust, and collaboration. It’s essential to understand the rank and file—to equip our officers with the resources and support they need to restore law and order. Hiring over 10,000 more officers will strengthen safety and morale. The mayor must lead from the front, stand firmly behind the NYPD, and maintain open communication with the police commissioner to ensure a shared vision for a safer, stronger city.
This relationship fosters a collaborative environment promoting public safety, justice and community well-being; it is based on:

Mutual Respect and Trust: - Clear communication: Open and transparent communication to ensure both parties are informed. - Respect for roles: Avoiding interference or micromanaging, and respecting each other's responsibilities. - Collaborative problem-solving: Working together to address public safety concerns.

Community-Focused Policing: - Community engagement: Engaging with the community to understand concerns, build trust and promote safety. - Data-driven decision-making: Using data and research to inform policing strategies. - Accountability and transparency: Ensuring law enforcement accountability and transparency in policies and practices.

Support and Resources: - Adequate funding: Ensuring sufficient funding for law enforcement operations, training, and equipment. - Training and development: Providing regular training and professional development opportunities. - Mental health support: Recognizing emotional demands and providing access to mental health resources.

Oversight and Accountability: - Independent review: Establishing an independent review process for complaints against law enforcement. - Policy oversight*: Providing oversight of law enforcement policies, ensuring alignment with community values.

- Transparency in discipline: Ensuring fair, transparent and communicated disciplinary actions.

James Walden (Integrity)

The ideal relationship is one built on mutual respect, accountability and trust. As a former federal prosecutor, I know how critical it is to support the brave officers of the NYPD. I also know it’s important to fully investigate allegations of excessive force and misconduct wherever they arise. As Mayor, I’ll appoint the NYPD Commissioner from nominees of an independent blue-ribbon panel. I’ll work to raise base pay and expand training — so we can retain top talent, build morale, and strengthen community trust. New Yorkers deserve a police force they can count on—and officers deserve leadership that stands with them to ensure the highest standards.

Government must be fully transparent in how it spends taxpayer dollars.

I support -

Publicly accessible spending reports so residents know where their tax dollars go

Stronger oversight of city contracts to prevent corruption Independent audits and investigations to ensure city funds are used responsibly

New Yorkers deserve a government that works for all people, not just political insiders or the wealthy.
These are my views of financial transparency and government accountability and which I prioritize:

- Complete transparency: All financial information, including budgets, expenditures, and contracts, should be easily accessible, clear, and understandable to the public.

- Real-time disclosure: Financial information should be disclosed in real-time, allowing citizens to stay informed and hold officials accountable.

- Independent oversight: Independent bodies, such as auditors or watchdog agencies, should be established to monitor government finances and ensure accountability.

- Citizen participation: Citizens should be encouraged to participate in the budgeting process, provide input on financial decisions, and engage in oversight.

- Accountability mechanisms: Strong accountability mechanisms, such as penalties for non-compliance or mismanagement, should be in place to ensure officials are held responsible.

- Protection for whistleblowers: Whistleblowers who report financial irregularities or misconduct should be protected from retaliation.

- Regular audits and evaluations: Regular audits and evaluations should be conducted to ensure financial management is effective, efficient, and transparent.

- Open data initiatives: Governments should adopt open data initiatives, making financial data available in machine-readable formats to facilitate analysis and scrutiny.

- Clear and concise communication: Financial information should be communicated clearly and concisely, avoiding technical jargon and ensuring accessibility for all citizens.

- Continuous improvement: Governments should commit to continuous improvement, regularly assessing and refining their financial transparency and accountability practices.

By embracing these principles, governments can demonstrate their commitment to transparency, accountability, and ethical governance, ultimately strengthening trust and promoting a more informed and engaged citizenry.

A story that I found particularly touching and memorable is my experience working with fire victims. Witnessing their heartbreak and pain in the aftermath of losing everything was deeply emotional, but what inspired me most was their resilience. Over the years, I’ve stayed in touch with some of these families and watched them rebuild their lives, proving the strength of the human spirit. Most recently, during the Bronx fires, I saw tenants who had lost it all rise up with courage and faith. Their perseverance reminds me that even in tragedy, hope and community can bring new beginnings.

An accomplishment that I am truly proud of is becoming the conservative candidate—something many people said could never happen. It took courage, conviction, and an unwavering belief in my values to stand firm and represent a voice that is often overlooked in New York City. I faced doubt, criticism, and countless challenges, but I never allowed fear or opposition to deter me. Instead, I used it as motivation to prove that integrity, faith, and determination can break barriers. This journey has shown me that when you stay true to who you are and stand up for what you believe in, anything is possible—even when others say it can’t be done.

Eric Adams' federal corruption case

2025

Dismissal

On February 10, 2025, the U.S. Justice Department and the acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove ordered federal prosecutors in the case to drop all charges against Adams.[68] On April 2, 2025, U.S. Judge Dale Ho issued an order dismissing the case.[69]

2024

Indictment

In August 2024, federal prosecutors issued subpoenas to Adams, several divisions of his campaign, and the City of New York.[70] On September 25, 2024, Adams was indicted by federal prosecutors and charged with five counts of wire fraud, bribery, and campaign finance offenses.[71][72] Prosecutors alleged that Adams received financial aid and travel perks from Turkish foreign nationals in exchange for political favors. Adams pleaded not guilty to all charges.[73] In a statement, Adams said, "I always knew that if I stood my ground for New Yorkers that I would be a target — and a target I became." He added, "If I am charged, I am innocent and will fight this with every ounce of my strength and spirit."[71] Adams was set to appear in court on April 21, 2025, to stand trial on the charges.[74]

2023

Investigation

In the spring of 2023, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York began a federal criminal inquiry of Adams' mayoral campaign in 2021.[75] The investigation was based on allegations Adams received illegal campaign donations from the Turkish government and was part of a larger public probe into political corruption led by the FBI and federal prosecutors in the New York City borough of Manhattan.[75][76] Adams responded to the allegations, saying he had nothing to hide and would fully cooperate with investigators. The FBI and federal prosecutors declined to comment.[75][77] In November, the FBI seized multiple electronic devices belonging to Adams, which were later returned to him. FBI agents also searched the home of Brianna Suggs — one of the top fundraisers for Adams' campaign — according to the Associated Press.[75][78]

At Ballotpedia, we believe that everyone deserves meaningful, reliable, trustworthy information about their candidates. We also know that good information—especially at the local level—is hard to find. That's why Ballotpedia created Candidate Connection.

We ask all federal, state, and local candidates to complete a survey and share what motivates them on political and personal levels. Our survey helps voters better understand how their candidates think about the world and how they intend to govern—information they need to feel confident they're picking the best person for the role.

If you are a candidate, take our survey here. Or you can ask a candidate to take the survey by sharing the link with them.

Submit endorsements

Endorsements can be particularly helpful for voters trying to decide between candidates in local races, which often feature nonpartisan candidates. Endorsements from individuals and organizations can help voters better understand policy differences between candidates in these cases where little or no other news coverage of policy stances exists.

Candidates, share endorsements here. Readers, share endorsements you know about here.
