Political Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports targeted tax relief for working- and low-income New Yorkers (including eliminating or reducing NYC personal income tax for filers with dependents at or below 150% of the federal poverty line) and has expanded the NYC Earned Income Tax Credit; budget actions also emphasize fiscal management while seeking to return tax relief to struggling families.
Healthcare
As mayor Eric Adams has prioritized expanding public health programs in New York City — notably the HealthyNYC initiative to extend life expectancy and investments in mental‑health services and homeless health care — and has worked to preserve and expand municipal employee and retiree health coverage. His actions emphasize city-led public health expansions and maintaining government-provided coverage for municipal workers rather than federal privatization or repeal.

Immigration & Border
Eric Adams affirms New York City’s sanctuary status and says the city will not cooperate with civil immigration enforcement while supporting cooperation with federal partners on criminal investigations involving violent criminals. He calls for comprehensive immigration reform at the federal level and emphasizes managing the city’s humanitarian needs without participating in mass deportation efforts. Adams has engaged with federal immigration officials to focus on violent crime while maintaining that city law prohibits collaboration on civil enforcement without a judicial warrant.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports broad access to abortion and reproductive health care, has called for codifying abortion rights into federal law, and has taken city actions to expand and facilitate abortion services for residents and out-of-state patients. Has implemented programs (Abortion Access Hub, medication abortion at public clinics, telehealth abortion) and issued a Sexual and Reproductive Health Bill of Rights to protect and expand access in New York City.
Climate & Energy
Supports aggressive city-level decarbonization and clean-energy expansion, including a net-zero-by-2050 target, phasing out city capital spending on new fossil-fuel equipment, and large-scale investments in renewable energy and building electrification. Advocates using city budgeting and planning to prioritize climate outcomes and to build offshore wind and other clean-energy infrastructure and jobs.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports federal and local gun safety measures including an assault‑weapons ban, stronger regulation of handguns and devices like bump stocks, and efforts to remove illegal firearms from city streets while funding policing and violence-prevention programs.
