Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio pushed back after Eric Adams
labeled universal pre-Kindergarten a “pet project” — declaring that
the program is one of several “profound” accomplishments from his time
in City Hall.

The congressional contender was asked on WABI’s “City Watch” about
Adams’ comments to The Post ripping ex-mayors for focusing on a single
“pet project,” ticking off a list that included “pre-K” in an obvious
dig at his immediate predecessor.

De Blasio, who often touts the initiative as a centerpiece of his
tenure, claimed he wasn’t familiar with the mayor’s remarks before
rattling off several accomplishments in his “very progressive agenda.”

“Well, I didn’t hear anything specific, but I’ll tell you, it’s pre-K
and 3k. And in September, 3k is going to be universal and free for
every student in New York City in perpetuity,” he told host David
Brand, a reporter at City Limits, in an interview aired Sunday.

“Look, I presented a very progressive agenda in 2013,” the former
mayor continued. “I said we’re gonna do transformative things to help
working people and to fight income inequality.

“We added two additional grades to public education for free. I don’t
know what’s more profound than that, so I’ll talk about it all day
long.”

De Blasio listed offering municipal ID cards for all New Yorkers
regardless of immigration status; appointing members to the Rent
Guidelines Board who enacted tenant-friendly increases; AOC-branded
eco-friendly measures; and his street safety program aimed at reducing
road deaths as his other achievements during his eight years in
office.

“There’s lots of other things, though. I’m proud of the Green New Deal
work we did. I’m proud of ID NYC, I’m proud of Vision Zero. I’m proud
of a lot of things,” he said.

In a recent exclusive interview with The Post conducted as the mayor
rode the subway overnight, Adams said his priority is to “fix this
mess,” rather than seeing through handful or policy proposals to
establish a “legacy,” a strategy he lamented previous occupants of
Gracie Mansion employed.

The clear shot at the mayor-turned House hopeful came after de Blasio
— who has often touted his close relationship with, and support for,
his successor — slightly changed his tune after announcing his bid for
the open seat in May.

In mid-June, de Blasio joined protesters at a Brooklyn school who
opposed City Hall’s decision to shrink public school budgets by $215
million.

De Blasio told HuffPost in a Q&A published June 23 that he “would like
to see” Adams focus on “progressive ideas that were his roots.”

“Right now, we have very little to go on, but I think he’s got to
speak more to that,” he told reporter Daniel Marans. “I want to hear
him express that progressive vision, that pro-worker vision.”

Adams isn’t the only Democratic executive de Blasio has gently
critiqued of late.

During the radio appearance, de Blasio pointed to what he feels is
missing from President Biden’s proposals, as he pledged to help form a
sweeping “urban agenda” if elected to represent parts of Brooklyn and
Lower Manhattan in Congress.

“But you know what’s interesting is [in] New York City, at least we
had an agenda for fundamental change,” he said, pivoting away from the
Adams-related question. “The country doesn’t. There’s no agenda in
Washington particularly related to cities. There is literally not an
urban agenda.”

“Our national government, even the Biden administration, doesn’t have
an urban agenda, de Blasio said in the interview, which was conducted
Wednesday.

“One of the things I want to fight for is a thoroughgoing agenda that
is about affordable housing, access to health care, profound changes
we have to make in the way we get around, and how we protect climate,
all of which are needed if our cities are going to be sustainable” the
former mayor went on. “I want to be that voice in Washington.”
