Adolfo Carrion is running for mayor, and he has left the Democratic Party to do it. He has the support of the New York City Independence Party and he is hoping that local Republican leaders give him a shot as well.
“We’re casting a wide net, we’re casting a big umbrella because we believe that New Yorkers all together, under one umbrella united, care about the future and will build a better city,” Carrion said.
He officially kicked off his campaign with a business-centered speech delivered at the Bronx Museum of the Arts.
After leaving the Bronx borough president’s office, Carrion led the White House Office of Urban Affairs and was regional director of the federal government’s housing agency.
Carrion is the only Hispanic candidate in the race.
