I met Bill de Blasio this morning. [View all]

He was campaigning in front of my subway stop and I got to meet him. I just told him it was a pleasure to vote for him and he thanked me. He talked to a few of us about how grueling the campaign trail is. I expect him to win my neighborhood but not by as much as other areas. I live in a swing district.
