Friends -
As someone who has supported me through previous campaigns, I wanted you to hear it directly from me:
I am filing an exploratory committee for the newly created 10th Congressional District in New York.
Our neighborhoods need help as we recover from COVID.
Our nation needs help as democracy is threatened and working people struggle.
I am ready to serve and continue the fight against the inequality that plagues us.
But I cannot do it alone. So I am asking:
This new district includes almost all of my old City Council district and areas we did very well in during both of my mayoral campaigns.
In other words, this is a seat that includes areas we’ve won before, and areas we can win again.
Will it be easy? No.
Can we do it? Absolutely.
But like I said, it will only happen if we’re in this together. That’s been the case in our previous victories, and it’s the case once again.
In solidarity,
Bill de Blasio
