NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams launched her mayoral campaign in Queens, strategically showcasing only her first name on campaign materials to distance herself from Mayor Eric Adams. This approach aims to disassociate her image from the embattled mayor as she builds support among constituents. During her kickoff event, she called attention to the empowerment of her identity, stating, "It's Adrienne for the people." Despite these efforts, prominent local leaders, crucial for her campaign's success, notably did not attend, highlighting her challenges in garnering essential support for the Democratic primary.
The speaker told The Post ;You caught on to that, didn't you? It's Adrienne for the people.; empowering her campaign while underlining her separation from Mayor Eric Adams.
Campaign materials emphasize 'Adrienne. Democrat for NYC Mayor' with her last name barely visible to ensure voters don't link her to her political rival.
