City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams has notched the top endorsement from District Council 37 in her bid to become mayor, which she will hope kickstarts her so-far moribund campaign. The union also ranked Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani and State Senator Zellnor Myrie in its slate of three candidates.
