Ex-NYC Comptroller Scott Stringer eyes 2025 comeback bid challenging Eric Adams for mayor
NY Post
Former city Comptroller Scott Stringer is eyeing a second run for mayor in a potential comeback bid challenging Mayor Eric Adams.
Stringer said he’s opening an exploratory committee that could see him on the ballot next to the incumbent in the 2025 Democratic primary.
The ex-comptroller lost to Adams in the 2021 Democratic primary after his campaign crumbled when a former campaign volunteer accused him of sexual assault two decades prior.
Stringer denied the accusation and has since sued the woman, Jean Kim, for defamation. She sued him for abuse under the Adult Survivors Act last year.
“I’m setting up an exploratory committee to run for mayor,” Stringer, 63, told The Post Wednesday.
“This administration is steering the ship into the iceberg. We need to move the ship away from the iceberg,” he said.
