Mayor Adams reveals name of the independent party he’s running under as part of reelection bid

Eric Adams has unveiled the name of the party line under which he plans to make his long-shot bid for reelection this year: Safe Streets, Affordable City.

The former Democrat told 1010Wins Wednesday afternoon that he will run on that line come the general, after deciding not to seek to be his ex-party’s nominee.

“Those are the issues that are important to New Yorkers,” Adams said of his third-party name. “They want a safe city. They want an affordable city. And I want them to know that is what I produced for them.”

Adams announced last week that he would run as an independent later this year in what could shape up into a five-person race with the mayor, Mamdani or current Comptroller Brad Lander, and attorney Jim Walden.

Hizzoner, though, on Tuesday repeated in the interview that he remains a member of the Democratic party — despite declaring numerous times that the party has left him.

The pivot to a third party came just a daymonths of delays.
