Eric Adams Has Plans for New York, Beyond Public Safety

Mr. Adams, the Democratic mayoral nominee, has stances on policing, transportation and education that suggest a shift from Mayor Bill de Blasio.

In the afterglow of winning the Democratic nomination for mayor of New York City, Eric Adams began to set out his mission if elected in November. “Safety, safety, safety,” Mr. Adams said in one interview. “Making our city safe,” he said in another. On Thursday, as a torrential storm flooded the city’s subway stations, Mr. Adams offered another priority: Fast-track the city’s congestion pricing plan, which would charge fees to motorists entering Manhattan’s core, so that the money could be used to make critical improvements to the aging system.
