NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- New York State Sen. Jessica Ramos officially launched her New York City mayoral campaign Friday morning, becoming the first woman to join the increasingly crowded race.

Responding to his resignation in a statement Thursday, Ramos questioned why Caban, the first Latino to hold that position, was the only one under pressure to leave the administration
