As Maya Wiley held a press conference in Washington Square Park in which she went after policing in NYC, Eric Adams touted his plan that he says will keep more young people out of jail. Meanwhile, Andrew Yang doubled down on his message that the city is going in the wrong direction, and Kathryn Garcia went on TV to tout.
In a separate survey by Emerson College and Pix11 released late Tuesday, Garcia surged into first place after winning endorsements from the New York Times and the New York Daily News.
