NEW YORK — The Bill de Blasio reboot is officially underway.
Three days after announcing a run for an open Congressional seat, New York City’s most recently departed mayor sat down on Monday to lay out a vision for his campaign — and if it’s successful — for a future representing parts of Brooklyn and Manhattan in Washington.
De Blasio, who met with the New York Daily News at Muse Café in Park Slope, framed his run as a return to his political roots, as a homecoming in a congressional district that overlays the old City Council district he once represented before becoming mayor. He appeared casual — with no tie and in New Balance running shoes — and came across as humble, while also exhibiting the sort of pride and self-assuredness that’s landed him in trouble before.
