Scott Stringer Says ‘The Greatest City in the World Is Broken Now’
A New Yorker’s Plea to Unite and Rebuild
As he sat down with FAQ NYC hosts Christina Greer, Katie Honan, and Harry Siegel at The City’s offices, mayoral candidate Scott Stringer made a bold statement: “I think this election is about who can put the city back together, and I don’t think people are going to buy the woe-is-me Eric Adams story.” He’s not alone in his assessment – many New Yorkers have witnessed the city’s decline, and they’re looking for a leader who can bring it back to its former glory.
The State of the City
According to Stringer, the city is in crisis. “We have a crime issue, and it’s real,” he emphasized. He believes that the current administration’s lack of effective solutions has only exacerbated the problem. “Having experience and a record of competence actually meets the moment. People want somebody who can walk into City Hall and know exactly what they’re doing.”
A New Approach
Stringer outlined his vision for the city, drawing from his experience as former comptroller. “I think I can make a real difference, and I think I can inspire people to make a difference,” he said. He believes that his record of competence, as well as his ability to connect with voters, sets him apart from other candidates.
What Makes a Leader
“When you’re in a crisis, you want someone who has been there before,” Stringer explained. “You want the heart doctor, not the plastic surgeon from the Hamptons.” He emphasized the importance of having a proven track record of success, citing his own accomplishments as comptroller. “You want somebody who has great competence and accomplishment, and that is something that I think differentiates me from the field of good people.”
Conclusion
Scott Stringer’s candid assessment of the city’s state and his vision for its future are a stark contrast to those of his opponents. As New Yorkers look to the future, they may find his message of competence and experience resonates with their own hopes for a better tomorrow.
