Adrienne Adams, who calls the death of the father, says Cuomo badly manages pandemic

The case for Adams' offer to become Mayor of New York City began in the parking lot of a suburban hospital, where she recently saw her father alive.

More than five years ago, in March 2020, Ms. Adams and her sister drove her father, who was infected with Covid-19, to the Long Island Jewish Medical Center when the pandemic grew. He had been rejected in the overcrowded and understaffed Elmhurst Hospital, which was closer to his house.

With restrictions that prevented the visitors, hugged Mrs. Adams, then city councilor her father before he was thrown into the hospital on Long Island. He succumbed to the disease eight weeks later.

On Thursday, the fifth anniversary of her father's death, Ms. Adams will have a campaign speech in Elmhurst Hospital, which will describe a border between the tragedy of her family and what she will call the state's governor at the time, Andrew M. Cuomo, who will now describe the leading candidate of the democratic mayor of the primary school.

In the speech, Ms. Adams will say that her father, a veteran of the Luftwaffe, was proudly serving his government. But when he needed his government to serve him, he failed. And it did not fail by chance. It failed him through design. “

Ms. Adams, now the spokesman for the city council, was a last-minute participant of the New York democratic mayor primary school after he had pushed from influential supporters to whom the Attorney General Letitia James, who has supported her since then.
