New York mayor-elect's teen daughter shares struggles in video

The teenage daughter of New York City's next mayor, Bill de Blasio, released a video on Tuesday in which she discusses her battle with depression and substance abuse while directing viewers to a website where they can get help. The nearly 5-minute video was released by the mayor-elect's transition team on Christmas Eve, days before de Blasio takes office on January 1. "Getting sober is always a positive thing," said Chiara de Blasio, 19, who was a regular presence in her father's mayoral campaign this fall. And nobody can do sobriety on their own." De Blasio's wife, Chirlane McCray, and their children have played a prominent role in his political career.
