September 16, 2025 – Jamaica, New York
As part of his re-election campaign, Mayor Eric Adams made a vibrant stop at the Rochdale Village Shopping Center in Jamaica, Queens, on Tuesday, where he was met with overwhelming support from local residents of the southeast Queens community.
The atmosphere inside the bustling shopping center quickly turned electric as soon as the Mayor stepped through the doors. Shoppers and business owners erupted into cheers, chanting « Four more years! » and eagerly rushed to take photos with him. The energy reflected a community eager to connect with its leader—and Adams did not disappoint.
Rather than making a quick appearance, Mayor Adams took time to walk through the mall, engage in real conversations, and hear directly from constituents. He listened to concerns about public safety, housing, youth programs, and economic development in Southeast Queens.
One young man who spoke with the Mayor shared his experience:
« I told the Mayor about our daily issues and also shared the project that I have for young New Yorkers with him, and he directed me to people that could help me make that happen. I really appreciate that, » he said.
Throughout the visit, Adams emphasized his administration’s ongoing efforts to invest in underserved communities, improve city services, and uplift the voices of everyday New Yorkers.
This campaign stop comes as part of a broader outreach effort ahead of the 2025 mayoral election. The Mayor is expected to continue his community engagement on Wednesday, with scheduled meetings in Harlem with both Muslim and Jewish community leaders.
As election season gains momentum, Mayor Adams’ hands-on approach and visible presence in neighborhoods across the city seem aimed at building both trust and momentum for a potential second term.
