Chirlane McCray met Bill de Blasio in 1991 when they both worked at New York City Hall for then-Mayor David Dinkins.

At the time, de Blasio was an aide to a deputy mayor and McCray was a speechwriter.

McCray first made a name for herself over forty years ago, as a writer, editor, and poet working at Redbook magazine.

Her early life growing up in Springfield, Massachusetts and later nearby Longmeadow informed much of her early writing and present-day political activism.

And despite identifying as a lesbian through much of her life, she found love in Bill de Blasio
