[Official Statement] NY State Assemblywoman Nikki Lucas of the 60th Assembly District in Brooklyn, calls out NYC Comptroller as being reckless and dangerous for making an substantiated claim that "some people say maybe the Mayor is in the Epstein files".
What Comptroller Brad Lander did by invoking the Epstein files and tying it to Mayor Eric Adams without any evidence is taking this election season to a new low. When reckless and unsubstantiated accusations like that are made by a sitting citywide official, it’s not just irresponsible, it’s dangerous,” said Lucas.
“Mayor Adams is a Black man, and the constant attacks he faces cannot be separated from that fact. It’s hard to sit back and stay silent while people try to tear him down with baseless claims. Brad Lander needs to be called to the carpet for that statement, and I’m calling on leaders like Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, Mayoral Candidates Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo along with others who work closely with him to denounce this rhetoric. Silence in moments like this only signals complicity.”
