NYC Mayor's Race: Public Advocate Jumaane Williams (D) endorses Speaker Adams (D), Lander (D) as top primary picks

Public Advocate Jumaane Williams officially made his choice in the 2025 NYC mayor’s race Tuesday, endorsing City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and Comptroller Brad Lander as his top two choices in the city’s ranked-choice Democratic primary.

Williams said he plans to announce his third, fourth, and fifth ranked-choice endorsements in the coming days and encouraged voters to “exhaust their ballot” in the June 24 primary.

“I’m really excited to be doing a co-number one endorsement with Speaker Adrienne Adams, Comptroller Brad Lander,” Williams said at a May 27 press conference in City Hall Park. “I couldn’t be more excited to be supporting two linear leaders who are already citywide, who have already shown what they can do.”

When asked whether Lander had originally been his sole pick, Williams said he had intended to support both candidates early on, but expanded his slate after Adams entered the race in March.
