MSNBC analyst Maya Riley is considering leaving the network to run for New York City mayor. If she is successful, she will be the first Black woman to lead the Big Apple.

Wiley has served as a top counsel for NYC’s current mayor, Bill de Blasio and was a chairwoman on the NYPD oversight agency. She is also a senior VP for social justice at The New School and the Henry Cohen Professor at the Milano School of International Affairs, Management and Urban Policy.

In an interview with MSNBC’s chief analyst Ari Melber, she stated, “I have been so overwhelmed by just the amount of support and kind words and outpouring I’ve gotten as a result of these news reports. All I can say to you is, I am certainly exploring it because I’ve been extremely privileged to be asked by folks to think about it.” She adds that her biggest issue in NYC is whether they will have a bold future.
