Adrienne Adams (D) launches first NYC mayoral campaign ad blitz, but is there time to break through?

Mayoral hopeful Adrienne Adams is launching a multi-million dollar campaign ad portraying her as a drama-free professional who can “rise above” the fray of New York politics — her first big spend of the 2025 election cycle, which comes amid signs of growing momentum, but also as questions loom about whether she has enough time to break through.

The 30-second ad, entitled “Rise Above,” was set to hit television and digital airwaves Thursday, with less than three weeks to go until the June 24 Democratic mayoral primary.

It features a piano-led gospel track, as Adams declares: “In New York City, we know drama, but as City Council speaker, I rise above it.”

Pictured behind a church pulpit, she then touts how she as speaker reversed library and child care budget cuts enacted by Mayor Adams — who is not related to her — and recently secured a temporary restraining order blocking President Trump’s administration from putting federal immigration agents on Rikers Island.
