Adolfo Jr Quotations

I don't even like to talk about this business about an ethnic and racial balancing act. I think it's a bunch of hokum. What people are concerned about is who is going to help this city move forward in a manner that benefits their families. They don't care about Adolfo being Hispanic, although that's obvious. They want to know if I will do a good job.

I would like to serve as mayor of this wonderful city. I think it's far too early to begin talking seriously about a candidacy for mayor in 2009. But it's something I would like to do.

This year's race showed that money, and lots of money, really matters. It was an unprecedented phenomenon that we will probably not see again.

But I think competition is good. I am very competitive, if no one has noticed. And I think that if we face off in the future, we'll have an opportunity to make a strong case to New Yorkers about our vision for the city. I hope and I expect that it will not diminish the good relationship we have.
