If you thought Bill De Blasio was a leftist, wait till you get his wife. And he’s hoping to run for President in 2020 with a horde of other Democrats. How about no?
Via Free Beacon:
Bill de Blasio’s wife, Chirlane McCray, is reportedly weighing a run for political office in the near future when her husband’s term as Mayor of New York City comes to an end.
Speaking to NY1 on Monday, McCray confirmed that she would be interested in pursuing her own political career once her husband, who is term-limited in 2021, has left office.
“I would consider running for office, absolutely,” McCray said. “I tell women all the time, ‘You should run, you should seriously consider running for office.'”
Since her husband was first elected in 2013, McCray has been granted an outsized voice in the de Blasio administration. McCray serves as an unofficial advisor to her husband and has been tasked with spearheading an $800 million effort to overhaul the city’s mental health system. Recently, her clout was perhaps best exemplified by the role she played in picking the incoming New York City Schools Chancellor.
