Eric’s efforts to change policing began his lifelong work to improve and protect New York. From the NYPD, he moved on to the State Senate, where he represented sections of central and Brownstone Brooklyn. In Albany, Eric built winning coalitions to advance New York City’s values and goals, helping to push through measures to protect tenants and workers, improve public safety, and advance human rights, including marriage equality. He also became the first person of color to chair the Senate’s Homeland Security Committee. Eric was then elected Brooklyn Borough President in 2013 by putting together a diverse coalition of Brooklynites to become the borough’s first Black leader. As the representative of one of the nation’s largest counties, Eric fought tirelessly to grow the local economy, reduce inequality, improve public safety, and advocate for smart policies and better government that delivers for all New Yorkers.
My interview with Eric Adams was one for the books. His honest approach and ability to think ahead is what gives me hope for the future. Does he have my vote? We will see on election day. Continue to exercise your right to vote and participate in the change you want to see.
Thank you to the Brooklyn Borough President and his staff for making time to be a guest on my show. Special shoutout to The EVO Agency for always putting in that work.
