Former Bronx Assembly Member Michael Blake announces 2025 NYC mayoral run, criticizes Eric Adams
Former Bronx State Assembly Member Rev. Michael Blake (D) announced Tuesday that he will run for NYC Mayor in 2025.
Blake, who represented Assembly District 79 from January 2015 to the end of 2020, said he aims to expand social programs, help nonprofits and focus on justice.
“I am running for mayor with a bold Our City, Our Home, Our Dreams policy platform, which advances universal child care, faster payments to nonprofits, tax incentives for college graduates and businesses to return to the city, and a balanced approach to public safety, public housing and public schools in our neighborhoods,” Blake said in a statement.
He joins a long list of 2025 Mayoral hopefuls including NYC Comptroller Brad Lander (D) and Former NYC Comptroller, Manhattan Borough President Scott M. Stringer (D). They aim to unseat the embattled incumbent Mayor Eric Adams (D).
