“#Former de Blasio lawyer Maya Wiley launches mayoral bid<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Former de Blasio legal counsel Maya Wiley hit her ex-boss for his leadership failures in a new video Wednesday night announcing her 2021 mayoral bid.<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old civil rights attorney and former MSNBC commentator \u2014 who has never held elected office \u2014 touts her outsider status in the three-minute spot.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not a conventional candidate, but changing it up isn\u2019t the risk,\u201d she says from a sidewalk in her leafy Prospect Park South neighborhood in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

\u201cElecting the same kinds of people, bringing the same old broken promises over and over again and expecting things will be different, that\u2019s the risk we cant afford right now,\u201d she says, with a subtle knock to two of the race\u2019s leading candidates \u2014 city Comptroller Scott Stringer and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot with 24,000 of our neighbors, friends and family members losing their lives to this pandemic and a historic economic crisis that\u2019s causing our small businesses, the backbone of our economy, to shutter. Not with millions of New Yorkers wondering how they will afford to feed their kids and pay their rent.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd not with a crisis of confidence in our city\u2019s leadership,\u201d she says, in a swipe at her former boss who\u2019s faced criticism from across the political aisle for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests.<\/p>\n

But Wiley also echoes de Blasio\u2019s \u201cTale of Two Cities\u201d mayoral campaign mantra by saying she wants to build a \u201cstronger, fairer and more just city.\u201d<\/p>\n

And she\u2019ll have to work hard to distance herself from Hizzoner after serving as de Blasio\u2019s top lawyer for nearly three years at the beginning of his first time.<\/p>\n

During that time she defended the mayor in a fundraising scandal and supported keeping communications with independent aides, known as \u201cagents of the city,\u201d private.\u00a0 De Blasio was later forced to hand over the emails following a lawsuit by The Post and NY1.<\/p>\n

Wiley<\/span> plans to make her mayoral run official Thursday at a public plaza in front of the Brooklyn Museum alongside Democratic State Sen. Mike Gianaris, family members and other supporters.<\/p>\n

Beyond Stringer and Adams, Wiley enters a crowded field of Democratic contenders. Declared or potential candidates include former de Blasio Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia, the administration\u2019s ex-Veterans Services Commissioner Ret. Brigadier General<\/a> Loree Sutton,\u00a0ex-Obama cabinet member Shaun Donovan, and nonprofit leader Dianne Morales<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Republicans who have launched campaigns or are exploring bids include Guardian Angels Founder Curtis Sliwa, grocery mogul John Catsimatidis, and Andrew Giuliani, son of former Mayor Rudy Giuliani.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
