SIGN UP FOR UPDATES

FROM WHITNEY

I’m running for mayor because our beloved city is headed in the wrong direction.

 I am committed to turning our city around and have many bold ideas for how to do so.

 My five biggest priorities are: 

  1. Cut violent crime by 50%;

  2. Address the cost-of-living crisis, much of it driven by housing costs and unnecessary regulation, and put more money in working people’s pockets;

  3. Rein in out-of-control spending by eliminating corruption, reducing inefficiency and delivering better services for less;

  4. Improve our public schools; and

  5. Prioritize citizens (and permanent legal residents) in the allocation of city resources.

We need to shake up our city government and abandon a lot of terrible ideas, which can only be done by an outsider – a businessperson, not a career politician

 We need a leader who can unify New Yorkers and bring fresh thinking, unconstrained by “that’s the way it’s always been done.” A leader who doesn’t need the job and isn’t beholden to anyone so is willing to speak hard truths. A leader who will hire an all-star team and then give them the freedom to execute on the best ideas. A leader who listens to a wide range of people, including critics. And a leader who has the humility to admit mistakes and fix them.

I will be that leader.
