Jared Evan
She worked for George Soros’ Open Society Foundation, she founded identity politics think tank Center for Social Inclusion and as de Blasio’s legal counsel she helped the Mayor by protecting political consultants from public disclosure by defining them as “agents of the city” and represented him during a fundraising probe by state and federal authorities.
Now she is running for mayor.
Maya Wiley is expected to formally kick off her candidacy later this week, according to the NY Post.
Wiley,56, is the daughter of civil rights leader civil rights icon George Wiley.
At one time Wiley sat on the board of the NYC Civilian Complaint Review Board and currently she is the senior vice president for Social Justice at The New School and the Henry Cohen Professor of Urban Policy and Management at the Milano School of Policy, Management, and Environment.
She also founded and served as president of the Center for Social Inclusion; a national policy strategy organization dedicated to dismantling structural racism.
In other words, she is the female Bill de Blasio, a total progressive, social justice warrior. In fact, she currently appears on left-wing entertainment and opinion network MSNBC as a pundit.
The NY Post reported: In one tweet after stepping down as de Blasio’s chief lawyer in 2016, Wiley embraced as a badge of honor being described as “one of the mayor’s ideological soulmates” in a City Limits article.
“Yes. ‘An ideological soulmate’ ……and a friend!” Wiley said in a tweet agreeing with the description — at the time.
Is the city ready for another 4 years of a far-left, identity politics pushing government?
She enters an already crowded Democratic field including Comptroller Scott Stringer, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, former US Housing Secretary Shaun Donovan, also Citigroup executive Ray McGuire, former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia, and former city VA Commissioner Loree Sutton, are looking at running.
The NY Post reported: Wiley was involved in crafting the much-criticized policy that exempted de Blasio’s communications with campaign and political consultants from public disclosure by defining them as “agents of the city” and represented him during the probe
De Blasio was never charged, but DA Cy Vance found the mayor acted “contrary to the intent and spirit of the laws that impose candidate contribution limits” involving his shuttered advocacy group, The Campaign for One.
Did you really think for a second Vane would charge de Blasio with anything?
