It's the brilliant lara show on WNYC. Good morning, everyone. So you know the headlines,

unless you just woke up. And you've probably heard very short sound bites

of these Rahnemdani and Mikey Sheryl victory speeches.

Well, with the luxury of time that we have on this show,

here's a little more.

The sun may have set over our city this evening.

But as Eugene Debs once said, I can see the dawn of a better day

for humanity. The men and women in labor. At a union jobs, at a time when our economy is set up to make it harder and harder for working people,

you know what?

They don't just fight for their brothers and sisters in labor.

They fight for all of us. For working families everywhere, so everyone has a shot.

So thank you.

Thank you to those so often forgotten by the politics of our city

who made this movement their own.

I speak of Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican abuelas,

Senegalese taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses,

Trinidadian line cooks and Ethiopian aunties.

Yes, aunties. Yes, aunties.

To every New Yorker in Kensington and Midwood and Huns Point, know this.

This city is your city and this democracy is yours too.

So I hear you, Newark.

I'm going to work with communities from the ground up so all of our neighbors thrive.
