“#McGuire’s setting right agenda for NYC’s 2021 mayoral race<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Former Citigroup chief Ray McGuire officially entered the 2021 mayoral race Wednesday \u2014 offering independence and good sense that the main candidates sorely lack.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s running because, he says, \u201cevery New Yorker deserves a chance to get back in the game<\/a>, and all of New York deserves a mayor who can bring this city together and solve this crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

He certainly has the leadership chops on that latter point, unlike others seeking the job (not to mention the incumbent): He ran one of the largest and most complex companies in the world.<\/p>\n

That also gives him a private-sector perspective absent from most of his rivals (unless you want to count Scott Stringer\u2019s failed bar). Indeed, McGuire\u2019s connection to economic reality would be a huge plus for a city badly battered by the pandemic \u2014 and facing a major challenge to avoid the permanent loss of office jobs.<\/p>\n

In McGuire\u2019s announcement video<\/a>, producer Spike Lee says New Yorkers are faced with \u201cthe opportunity to rebuild\u201d and \u201cneed a mayor who can bring us together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lee also vouches for McGuire as a fighter for racial justice, saying: \u201cHe lives that fight every single day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raised by a single mother in Dayton, Ohio, McGuire won a full academic scholarship to the elite Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Conn., then moved on to Harvard, where he also earned postgraduate degrees in both law and business.<\/p>\n

His campaign will be guided by Basil Smikle, a veteran political operative, cable TV pundit and one-time executive director of the Democratic State Committee.<\/p>\n

McGuire\u2019s background as one of the nation\u2019s No. 1 executives \u2014 and perhaps the top black business leader in America \u2014 and centrist politics may be what are needed to counter a local political culture dominated by special interests and hacks. At the very least, he\u2019s right about what the city needs now: \u201cPolitics as usual just won\u2019t cut it.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
