"I came to support Adams because when I had my problem Adams was there to support," said Alba, who narrowly dodged murder charges in the 2022 stabbing at a Hamilton Heights grocery store. "I don't believe he's guilty. I want him found innocent." Alba's statement reflects the strong personal connection between him and the mayor, emphasizing the importance of their support network amid legal troubles.
"We have faith mayor Adam is going to come out clean of the charges he is facing," said Francisco Marte, founder of the Bodega and Small Business Association of New York. Marte expressed his concerns about losing the security gained under Adams’ leadership, supporting the mayor as a stabilizing force in the community.
Jackie Rowe-Adams, president and co-founder of Harlem Mothers Stop Another Violent End, stated, "You know what he is guilty of? caring too much about the city." Her words highlight the belief among supporters that Adams' intentions for the city are genuine, contrasting his legal challenges with his commitment to public service.
