"This was the first administration to have five women deputy mayors, the first woman police commissioner and the second woman police commissioner. We had the first Dominican deputy mayor, the first Filipino deputy mayor, the first East Indian deputy mayor, and the first Persian deputy mayor an administration that looks like the city it serves and that has delivered for our city every single day."
"Four years after we took office during a pandemic and a crime wave, we can say with confidence: New York City has never stood stronger than it does right now. Record jobs, record homes, record small businesses, record early childhood education enrollment, record investments in homelessness, record safety, and so much more. The last four years have been a testament to what we can achieve when dedicated public servants work together to put sound policy into practice."
The administration assembled a diverse senior leadership including historic firsts: five women deputy mayors, the first Dominican, Filipino, East Indian, and Persian deputy mayors, and a woman police commissioner. The city achieved record levels in jobs, homes, small businesses, early childhood education enrollment, homelessness investments, and safety. Crime declined for four consecutive years while the economy experienced record-breaking expansion. Pragmatic, common-sense policies targeted housing development, homelessness and mental health responses, childcare cost reductions, and public health improvements, increasing average lifespan and student achievement. Public spaces were kept cleaner and greener, and city services supported small business growth and expanded early learning opportunities.
