NEW YORK (77 WABC) – Andrew Yang officially announced his candidacy for the Mayor of New York City.

Taking to twitter, the former Democratic presidential contender said in a video Wednesday night, “I’m running for mayor for my two boys, for you, and for every New Yorker. Let’s fight for a future New York City that we can all be proud of.”

The 46-year-old tech entrepreneur held his first press conference this morning just outside Morningside Park. Yang said, “I launched a presidential campaign that not too many people were calling for before it happened, but turned into a movement with millions of Americans rallying around universal basic income and a new economy that works for us, the people”

Earlier this morning on Bernie & Sid, Bernard McGuirk said Yang is “the best of the bad bunch on the Democrat side.”

A few dozen New Yorkers filed campaign paperwork ranging from career politicians to total newcomers.
