COMMON CAUSE/NY CALLS FOR MAYOR ADAMS TO RESIGN

Group urges Adams to ensure a responsible transition by leaving AFTER March 26th, which would avoid triggering a needless special election just one month before June primary

NEW YORK, NY (02/18/2025) (readMedia)-- Yesterday, four Deputy Mayors resigned from Mayor Adams' Administration effective at the end of March. In response, Susan Lerner, Executive Director of Common Cause/NY put out the following statement:

"It's clear that Mayor Adams must resign and finally put the interests of the city and the public ahead of his own. He must commit to stepping down now, but he should officially leave office at the end of March to ensure a smooth transition to the Public Advocate, and avoid a needlessly chaotic and expensive special election process which would seriously disrupt BOE administrative preparations for the existing June primary."
