I'm someone who does not like a bunker mentality and does not like groupthink.

I think a lot of the best ideas come from the grassroots; I'm someone who does not like a bunker mentality and does not like groupthink.

I am very much a Red Sox fan; I can name you more players than you could possibly imagine. It's just part of who I am.

Clearly, Mayor Bloomberg did some things right. I think he did a very good job on public health. He did a very good job on environment. I think he was right to achieve mayoral control of education. I don't think he then applied it the right way.

My professional life has been about public service. My personal life I define very intently through my family.

I have a bold plan to break from the Bloomberg years, and end the 'Tale of Two Cities' by providing real opportunity to all New Yorkers, no matter where they live.
