“#Christine Quinn preparing another run for NYC mayor<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Former City Council Speaker Christine Quinn is preparing another run to become mayor of New York City, sources said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cChris has talked to people about running for mayor. She\u2019s talked to me about running for mayor,\u201d said a source who is friendly with Quinn and who requested anonymity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think she is going to run. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if she makes an announcement next week \u2014 after the Thanksgiving holiday,\u201d the political insider said.<\/p>\n

Another source familiar with Quinn\u2019s thinking said, \u201cShe did not lose interest in running City Hall after her rival Bill de Blasio was sworn in as mayor.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speculation has been rampant over the past year that Quinn was eying a run, including the leaking of a private poll about the 2021 mayor\u2019s race that included many questions about her.<\/p>\n

Quinn currently is CEO of the homeless services organization Women in Need. Her managerial experience gives her insight in trying to address one of the city\u2019s most pressing problems, her admirers say.<\/p>\n

She also is vice chairman of the state Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

Quinn did not dispute that she\u2019s weighing a run.<\/p>\n

\u201cChris Quinn has made no decision on a prospective run for mayor,\u201d said Quinn spokesman Mike Morey. \u201cRight now she is focused on her work advocating for homeless families in New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some political insiders say it\u2019s late for Quinn to jump into the race. The Democratic primary is in June and some key labor leaders and activists who backed her bid in 2013 are now behind other candidates.<\/p>\n

Quinn finished third in the 2013 Democratic primary behind Mayor Bill de Blasio and Bill Thompson.<\/p>\n

Some liberal activists in the Democratic Party then perceived her as being too close to former Mayor Mike Bloomberg. She supported a controversial law that paused term limits, permitting Bloomberg to seek and get elected to a third term.<\/p>\n

Quinn was also the target of attack ads from well-heeled donors tied to the animal rights group, NYCLASS, for opposing their bid to ban horse carriages. Claims surfaced that the anti-Quinn group and the de Blasio campaign were in cahoots.<\/p>\n

Quinn also speaks her mind \u2014 and that occasionally has landed her in hot water.<\/p>\n

She backed Gov. Andrew Cuomo\u2019s bid for a third term in 2018, calling his Democratic primary rival, Cynthia Nixon an \u201cunqualified lesbian\u201d for the office.<\/p>\n

Quinn, who like Nixon is gay, quickly apologized for referencing the \u201cSex and the City\u201d star\u2019s sexual orientation when discussing her qualifications for governor.<\/p>\n

But with potentially 10 other candidates in the mayoral race, Quinn may think she has a shot to come out on top \u2014 particularly with the new ranked choice voting system that will be in effect for the mayoral primary.<\/p>\n

The City Hall wannabes include city Comptroller Scott Stringer, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, former de Blasio mayoral counsel Maya Wiley, former city Veteran Affairs Director Loree Sutton, former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia, Citigroup executive Ray McGuire, Brooklyn Councilman Carlos Menchaca,\u00a0 Diana Morales and Zach Iscol.<\/p>\n

One Democratic activist said he\u2019s surprised Quinn is attempting a comeback bid because she\u2019s out of step with the city\u2019s left-leaning primary voters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen she was council speaker, she catered to landlords and developers and that\u2019s not what primary voters want to see,\u201d said Allen Roskoff of the Jim Owles LGBT Democratic Club.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
