A Packed Party for the Mayor …and Applause for the Host

NYC Mayor Adams recently announced his decision to run as an Independent in his bid to hold on to his seat.

While some immediately pondered whether or not he could get to first base, community leader Renee Collymore, Democratic liaison, 57th Assembly District, threw the native Brooklynite a party at the Sanders House Waverly in Brooklyn on Sunday, April 6, afternoon; it was standing room only.

NYC Politics.com described “powerhouse” Collymore’s soiree as a “packed house” with “hundreds of residents and local businesses” celebrating the Mayor’s follow-through on a promise to reduce the number of migrants housed in the neighborhood from 4,000 to under 400.

“We were dealt a tough hand, but we didn’t fold”, Adams said, to the upbeat, cheering crowd, NYC politics.com reported, as his message of “resilience and follow-through in the face of unprecedented challenges,” met with applause — an applause that included unwavering supporter Collymore for her leadership in the community. “Renee was in City Hall regularly,” Adams said. “She didn’t speak for this community — she fought for it!”
