Jessica Ramos Announces Mayoral Bid
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

On Friday, September 13th, New York State Senator Jessica Ramos officially launched her campaign for mayor of New York City. In a campaign announcement video, Ramos highlighted her commitment to the city and her intention to restore trust in City Hall. Her bid for the mayoral seat follows growing speculation about her potential run, positioning her as the first woman to join the already crowded race. She addressed the current administration’s scandals, questioning Mayor Eric Adams’ leadership in the face of the recent resignation of Police Commissioner Edward Caban.

Ramos, a state senator from Queens, emphasized her roots in the city, noting her two sons who attend public schools and her Colombian heritage. She criticized the ongoing issues under Adams’ leadership, particularly the resignation of Caban, the city’s first Latino police commissioner. Ramos questioned why he was the only official pressured to leave amid the controversy, stating that her leadership would focus on accountability and transparency. “You’ll never have to wonder who I’m working for or who is paying me,” Ramos declared in her video.

Her entry into the race has generated considerable attention, especially as she would not only be the first woman but also the first Latina to serve as mayor of New York City. This historic candidacy brings a fresh dynamic to the competition, which already includes several progressive challengers such as Zellnor Myrie, Comptroller Brad Lander, and former Comptroller Scott Stringer.

However her low name recognition and infighting with other progressives may pose a challenge.
