Gillen: “Mayor Adams Is Not Above the Law.”

February 18, 2025 Press Release GARDEN CITY, NY – Today, Rep. Laura Gillen (NY-04) released the following statement after reports that Governor Kathy Hochul would be meeting with New York City officials today about ensuring stability at City Hall: “No one is above the law. If you abuse the power of public office, you’re not fit to hold it. Mayor Adams has failed and betrayed New York City repeatedly over the last three years, prioritizing his own interests over those of New Yorkers. His recent actions of blatant, textbook corruption have proved once again why he should not be Mayor for even one day more.” “Over the past year, I’ve repeatedly called for Mayor Adams to do the right thing and resign, but if he won’t step aside, the Governor needs to act in the best interests of New Yorkers and remove him from his role.” CONTACT: Vidhya Jeyadev , 202-669-5538
