This top supporter of Mayor Eric Adams is a brilliant broker with a gorgeous view! Super booster Eleonora Srugo is a Douglas Elliman luxury real estate agent who’s even been buzzed about online as a potential “Real Housewives of New York” candidate. Stunning Srugo — who is politically charged on issues from education to Israel — has supported Adams since the beginning of his administration, and often posts chummy pics with the pol as a constant cheerleader and supporter. We also hear she’s a fundraiser, and that the relationship is purely professional. (Adams has a long-term girlfriend, Tracey Collins.) On Election Day 2021, Srugo, 37, posted a pic of the pair at Cipriani Downtown with the caption, “I am a proud product of the NYC public school system. Raised by a single mother who provided for me, doing well at school was my end of the bargain — and I loved it.” In the shot, she wore a cool Guns N’ Roses tee while Adams appeared in a white polo shirt. The pair met because Srugo, a Stuyvesant High School grad, created the prominent school’s Alumni Mentoring Program that “primarily serves students living below the poverty line.” “That’s how I met Eric Adams,” she wrote in the Cipriani post. “He knows firsthand what it means to create your own destiny in this city… His vision is to multiply the programs and schools that work.” She also told Page Six when reached for comment, “I originally connected to Eric Adams due to his position on education and support of institutions like the [Specialized High Schools Admissions Test] that are personally important to me. I appreciate his pro-business initiatives, his work in keeping the city safe and specific to real estate his administration’s expansion of integrated affordable housing programs.” The brainy beauty with a business degree from Boston University has posted pics with the mayor at charity food drives — including a Thanksgiving event with Al Sharpton and City Council speaker Adrienne Adams. In January 2023, they served food together as volunteers outside the Empire State Building, where Srugo regularly volunteered. She also posted images of them handing out food again later in the month with the caption: “I am so proud of the turnaround we have seen this last year” in NYC.” Last year she wrote of the mayor’s record, “things are not perfect, and no it’s not the utopian city I dream of, but wow is the trajectory different.” She told us: “My job is to sell New York City to the incredible people that make this city magical and to the world. I am personally invested in seeing this city win. We all sacrifice so much to call this place home because it gives us so much opportunity in return. This is the birthplace of upward mobility. Everything the mayor does that reinforces the American dream I can get behind. Reminding people that New York isn’t back — that it in fact never left — is what helps me do my job and make a living.” Professionally, her recent sales have recently included a record $75 million closing on Central Park South, a record transaction. A spokesperson for the mayor’s office told us of Srugo: “She’s a very accomplished person and who’s one of the top realtors in NYC, and she still finds time to volunteer. I think she cares about her city, it’s very evident. We want every New Yorker to be as invested in their city as she is.” The rep added that the first time he’d met Srugo, she was handing out food at one of the charity nights at the Empire State. “Multiple times I saw her doing that — she’s someone who’s so accomplished who remembers her roots,” the rep said. Adams, 63, and Srugo have been on the pages of Page Six: Back in October 2022, The Post’s iconic column wrote that Adams attended Srugo’s birthday bash with rappers French Montana and Ja Rule, just before he declared a state of emergency over the migrant crisis. The party was at Adams’ old haunt Osteria La Baia, owned by his controversial pal, Zhan “Johnny” Petrosyants. In 2020, Adams and Srugo were pictured at a brunch thrown by Billionaire’s Row founder and Adams pal, William Benson, and she has also posted pics from a Drake concert they both attended at the Apollo. In June of 2023, Adams and Srugo — who was born in Israel and raised in NYC — walked together in a Celebrate Israel Parade. We hear that Srugo regularly visits Israel and that she and Adams briefly overlapped there on his trip there last August. She said of her friendship with the politician: “I have always been community-minded, and I was an early supporter of [Mayor Adams]. He is a phenomenal leader for our city, and I support him wholeheartedly. As a person, he is just a regular guy… a native New Yorker like me. He is a great listener and an extraordinarily
