Adrienne Adams, the City Council Speaker, has launched her first TV ad, 'Rise Above,' ahead of the June 24 Democratic mayoral primary. The ad emphasizes her capability to rise above political drama to effectively serve New Yorkers. Adams discusses her political history, including confrontations with Mayor Eric Adams regarding budget cuts and immigration policies. The release of the ad coincides with the start of early voting and marks a significant investment in her campaign as she competes with several established candidates for the nomination.
In New York City, we know drama, but as City Council speaker, I rise above, the speaker says at the pulpit of a church with a gospel choir performing behind her.
Now I'm running for mayor, Adrienne Adams says. Not for power or praise, but for my children and for yours. For affordability. For safety. For justice.
The ad marks the beginning of Speaker Adams' multi-million dollar buy with the start of early voting a little over a week away, according to her campaign.
The delay stemmed from Speaker Adams having only unlocked public matching funds.
