Eric Adams reiterates pledge to hire NYC’s first woman police commissioner

Democratic mayoral nominee Eric Adams on Thursday reiterated his pledge to hire the first woman as New York City police commissioner, following his primary win on Tuesday.

“My commissioner in New York City, if I’m mayor, No. 1 it’s going to be a woman because it’s time to break that glass ceiling,” Adams said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” Adams, as he has previously, said he has been “communicating with” three female candidates, though he wouldn’t specify whom he would potentially choose when he takes office in 2022.
