NYC Mayor's Race: 'Man of God' Eric Adams' reelection effort nabs support from dozens of religious leaders [View all]

Mayor Eric Adams’ long-shot independent reelection bid received a much-needed boost on Tuesday with new endorsements from dozens of religious leaders representing various faiths across the city.

Hizzoner, during an Aug. 5 news conference on the City Hall steps, stood shoulder-to-shoulder with roughly 75 Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and Buddhist faith leaders who endorsed his run for a second term.

During the event, Adams described himself as a “man of God” and said the city’s many religious groups have been “ever present” throughout his time in office.

“Behind me are the various faith communities that have made this city what it is,” Adams said. “I’m asking you to go back to your parishioners, I’m asking you to speak directly to them, and tell them who we have been together.”
