Michael Blake’s Statement on Governor Hochul’s Decision Not to Remove Mayor Eric Adams

February 20, 2025

We are in a crisis of confidence because of Eric Adams being more afraid of Donald Trump than fighting for us. While I continue to believe that Eric Adams needs to go immediately, Gov. Hochul proposed very strong checks on the corruption and bowing down of Eric Adams to Trump and Elon.

We now need City Council and the State Legislature to move immediately to keep Eric in check because we simply can’t trust him. 

Legal safeguards to protect our democracy from wannabe kings are critical. Serving as mayor of New York City shouldn’t require babysitters be put in place to prevent corruption. 

As your next mayor, I will reject illegal donor contributions and refuse to hire corruptible staff who put themselves above the integrity of civil service. I will never empower bullies who fail to protect our city’s safety or allow sexual predators to walk the halls of City Hall. Most importantly, I will not kiss the ring of President Trump. The interests of New Yorkers will always come first—above so-called kings or those who aspire to be one.
