Eric Adams To Run On 'Safe Streets, Affordable City' Ballot Line

Following Eric Adams' announcement that he would forgo seeking the Democratic nomination and instead run for re-election as an Independent, there was speculation about the ballot line he would choose. That question has now been answered.

Mayor Adams has selected 'Safe Streets, Affordable City' as his official ballot line for the upcoming General Election. This name clearly signals to voters the key priorities his campaign will emphasize.

Public safety and the economy have long been central themes for Adams, both during his initial run for mayor and throughout his time in office. The chosen ballot line directly reflects this consistent focus.

Voters can expect his campaign messaging to center heavily on these two areas, likely highlighting accomplishments achieved during his current term as mayor.

This is what voters will see when they go to vote on Election Day, and it could serve as a final reminder of his campaign promises at a critical moment in the election.

Focusing on past performance is a strategy echoed by others potentially entering the race. A political action committee backing former Governor Andrew Cuomo's possible mayoral bid recently released its first TV ad of the cycle. As we reported, that ad also emphasizes Cuomo's record during his time as governor.

To secure his place on the ballot as an Independent under this new banner, the Adams campaign must now undertake the process of gathering petition signatures specifically for the 'Safe Streets, Affordable City' line.
