Adams’ anti-crime message resonated with broad spectrum of Dems in NYC

Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams secured a solid first-place lead in the Democratic primary for mayor because his vow to bolster public safety resonated with a broad cross-section of voters in working- and middle-class neighborhoods throughout the city, Post interviews reveal.

Adams’ anti-crime message put him on top with outer-borough Democrats of all races and ethnicities in Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx and Staten Island as well as northern Manhattan. A case in point: Adams earned the most votes in the predominantly white 27th Assembly District in central Queens that includes Kew Gardens and Kew Garden Hills, Briarwood and College Point as well as clearly winning the borough’s largely black homeowner neighborhoods to the south.
