"It was refreshing to hear from a leader who is focused on service rather than self, and effectiveness rather than ego. I am heartened by the agenda that the Speaker put forward for the Council — strengthening public health and safety, expanding housing access and affordability, and protecting all New Yorkers, regardless of status.
"Like my office, the Speaker emphasized ways to make our city’s systems work, closing gaps left by the mayor’s administration. This address laid out what good we can do when government is focused on the good of the people, not a person."
