For the past three decades, Eric L. Adams has served the residents of Brooklyn as Borough President, State Senator, Police Officer, and coalition builder.
In November of 2017, he was re-elected for a second term to represent all of Brooklyn as Borough President. Born in Brownsville and educated in the city’s public school system, Eric is committed to ensuring Brooklyn’s bright future by helping each and every Brooklynite reach his or her full potential.
Eric L. Adams has worked to make the popularity of Brooklyn’s brand translate into prosperity for the over 2.6 million Brooklynites that call the borough home. He is a big believer in the power of connections, of bringing together people in need of services with resources that have long existed but have been underutilized.
As a legislator, Eric’s record in New York State Senate was one that underscored his strong commitment to the rights of those from every walk of life, including protecting the right to privacy, supporting marriage equality, defending a woman’s right to choose, as well as fighting for students’ rights, workers’ rights, and animal rights. His work involved efforts to prevent racial profiling, gender discrimination, domestic violence, and elder abuse.
NOTES:
Borough President’s Cheese Recipe!
Wow! What an interesting conversation. And as of today, no longer Borough President, but incoming NYC Mayor. I think his nutritional outlook and related initiatives could be his next victory. Thanks for this, Steven!
