New York City — July 6, 2017 10:00AM along the 42nd Street Plaza inside Bryant Park (just north of the Bryant Park lawn), Garrett Bowser, gay 46 year old Greenwich Village resident, is announcing his Independent campaign for mayor of New York City with a progressive platform appealing to conservatives and liberals who are ready to work together to provide sustainable solutions to the issues we face today.
