Mayor Adams celebrates voter approval of key NYC propositions

New York City voters have shown overwhelming support for Propositions 1 through 5, marking a significant step in reforming the city charter. Mayor Eric Adams praised the early results, highlighting wins for working-class New Yorkers on issues like safety, fiscal transparency, and abortion care.

“Working-class New Yorkers spoke, and the Charter Revision Commission listened,” Adams stated. “This is a great day for everyone who desires a safer city, cleaner streets, greater fiscal responsibility, transparency in the city’s capital planning process, and, of course, access to abortion care.”

Adams expressed gratitude to the commission and staff for their efforts, which he said reflect his administration’s commitment to a “safer, more affordable city for all New Yorkers.”
