When Brooklyn Borough
Eric Adams: The one to lead New York
President Eric
Adams offi cially announced
his candidacy for mayor
on Nov. 19, 2020, New York
City was reeling from the double
calamity of the COVID-19 Pandemic
and a growing number of
related fi scal crises.
Now nearly a year later, the
Democrat is poised to become
New York City’s 110th mayor
— the overwhelming favorite
to win election in this heavily
Democratic city. Although his
main challenger, Republican
Curtis Sliwa, is to be commended
for his work with the
Guardian Angels, he lacks the
experience necessary for this
role at this most critical moment
in our history.
Schneps Media wholeheartedly
endorses Adams as the right
person at the right time to lead
the city to a robust recovery.
Our endorsement follows Adams’
Democratic Primary win in

We strongly urge voters to choose Eric Adams as their next mayor on Nov. 2,
with early voting slated for Oct. 23-31.
June on a moderate pro-public safety,
pro-business platform over several far
left progressives.
Adams’ experience in the NYPD
uniquely positions him to strengthen
relations with the police force and help
this city get back on track to truly becoming
the safest big city in America.
Adams comes from a life in service
to the public. Born in Brooklyn and
raised in Queens in a working class
household, where his mother earned
a living as a domestic worker, Adams
received degrees from the New York
City College of Technology, John Jay
College of Criminal Justice, and Marist
College.
Adams was a member of the New
York City Police Department for 22
years, retiring at the rank of Captain.
After four terms in the New York State
Senate representing Central Brooklyn,
Adams was elected as the 18th Borough
President of Brooklyn, and is the fi rst
African American man to hold that
position.
As borough president, he has exercised
wisdom on a number of zoning
issues balancing the needs of the

borough with the desires of the local
community.
Just as importantly, Adams proved
a capable crisis manager when he put
a mattress on the fl oor at Borough
Hall and worked night and day during
the height of the pandemic to ensure
emergency medical responders had
the equipment necessary to do their
jobs; the city’s Medical Examiner’s Offi
ce kept later hours; and refrigerated
trucks were put in Sunset Park to ease
up the logjam of dead at hospitals and
in funeral homes.
Adams’ rise to the brink of the
mayorship of America’s biggest city is
an inspiration, and not an accident. He
has worked his way to this moment, and
has the experience and tools necessary
to govern this challenging city at this
most challenging time.
He is the right person at the right
time to lead New York City into a new
era of prosperity, while balancing the
budget and the needs of working class
New Yorkers.
We strongly urge voters to choose Eric
Adams as their next mayor on Nov. 2,
with early voting slated for Oct. 23-31.
