In 5 Borough Swing, Bill de Blasio Adores 'Pavement Pounding Approach'
Bill de Blasio’s path to Gracie Mansion kicked off in a 5 Borough swing, a sixty miles day long journey reaching out to disenfranchised

city than his rivals. “If you’re going to change the status quo in this city, it’s going to
take a forceful approach,” he told Hunter Walker and Ross Barkan accompanying him on his 1st day of campaigning. “I won’t speak to the details of

believe in making that change, some don’t. Some are doing something
about that, some aren’t. I think that what voters will see in this city
that I back up my words with action.”
