Mayor Eric Adams expressed strong opposition to Zohran Mamdani's push to decriminalize prostitution, emphasizing the religious and ethical implications of the issue. He stated, "I can't be more clear. I'm a man of God, just as Mamdani says he's a Muslim. I don't know where in his Quran it states that it's ok for a woman to be on the streets selling their body." Adams views Mamdani's stance as neglecting the serious issues of sex trafficking and safety for vulnerable populations.
