Park Sloper de Blasio announces bid for mayor
Updated Jan. 28, 6:40 pm
Public Advocate Bill de Blasio, a longtime Park Slope resident, announced on Sunday his bid for the mayor’s seat, promising to pay attention to working-class New Yorkers he says have been ignored or “priced out” under Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
The 51-year-old Democrat made the announcement outside his Brooklyn home, with the slogan: “We only succeed if we leave no New Yorker behind.” He said he’ll conduct a “true citywide campaign,” starting Monday in all five boroughs.
