Charter school maven Eva Moskowitz may have a mayoral run in her future.

“I might run for mayor some day,” she said on the John Gambling radio show. “But right now, I’m very, very focused on educating the 10,000 kids that will be with us in 95 business days.”

The controversial former City Councilwoman and Success Academy head said she thought she was getting out of politics - but found running schools was no less politically charged.

“I thought I was leaving elected office and politics in order to focus on schooling, but as you know schooling turns out to be frankly even more political than politics,” she said. “I may [run for office]. I believe public service is incredibly important. But I also love the kids.”
