"I commend my friend and partner Mayor Eric Adams for outlining an inspiring and ambitious vision for New York City in his second State of the City address. Our city faces numerous challenges that require bold action and an all-hands-on-deck approach.

"From addressing a generational housing crisis, connecting those experiencing homelessness and severe mental illness to supportive services, to investing in law enforcement and proven crime prevention strategies that keep New Yorkers safe, and making New York City more affordable — I am confident that Mayor Adams' proposals will meet the urgency of this historic moment.

"Since day one, I vowed to usher in a new era of collaboration and leadership with the Mayor, and I look forward to our continued partnership to create a brighter, safer and more prosperous future for New York City."
