    • Places & Travel

Civil rights attorney Maya Wiley did not win the race for Gracie Mansion. The next mayor will be Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. But Wiley had a strong showing in her first-ever run for office and enhanced her own profile as a champion for the causes she holds dear, from police reform to affordable housing and beyond. We discuss her mayoral race and what it was like being thrown into the political gauntlet. A former top counsel for Mayor Bill de Blasio, she reflects on the outgoing mayor’s legacy and what she hopes an Adams administration might be able to accomplish. And we’ll get into what she’s thinking about doing next.
