Eric Adams has the ingredients of a great NYC mayor: Here’s his best game plan

When all the votes are finally certified by the Board of Elections on July 14, Eric Adams will have decisively won the Democratic mayoral primary and thus, effectively, clinched City Hall. Voters chose Adams because they believe he can end the violence plaguing Gotham.

If Adams succeeds, he will emerge as a national leader, and the Big Apple will once more be celebrated as a model for urban safety. Here’s a game plan for making it happen, from a City Council veteran. It’s a vision I know he appreciates, judging by his public statements.
