US Senator Bernie Sanders and US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez support him. Zohran Kwame Mamdani is a New York State Assemblymember and democratic socialist and the Mayor Elect. Born in Uganda and raised in New York City, he has fought for the working class in and outside the legislature: hunger striking alongside taxi drivers to achieve more than $450 million in transformative debt relief, winning over $100 million in the state budget for increased subway service and a successful fare-free bus pilot, and organizing New Yorkers to defeat a proposed dirty power plant.
The cost of living is crushing working people. Zohran says that the government can lower costs and make life easier in our city. He vows to use every tool available to lower rents, create world-class public transit, and make it easier to raise a family.
