As for so many across this country, Bernie Sanders has been the single most influential political figure in my life.
As Mayor, I will strive to live up to his example by fighting for the working class every day and hopefully make Brooklyn’s own proud.

Fresh Future proudly endorses Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor.
While we were initially worried that Mamdani was too blindly ideologically socialist, we have been encouraged by his willingness in the last few weeks to incorporate parts of the Abundance agenda into his platform.

Of all the things the Trump administration is doing, the gutting of scientific “Basic Research” might have the most detrimental effects felt decades from now.
We MUST elect representatives and executives who understand this, and ideally have a vested interest in the long term future.

vocal opposition to democratic gerontocracy is nifty because it serves a constructive purpose — passing the torch — and a political one: signaling independence from The Democrats.
35-year-old Dem Harry Jarin launches primary challenge to Rep. Steny Hoyer, who's 50 years older:
"I'm not trying to be cruel or callous, but I want Democrats to win, and there are consequences for having this gerontocracy, and we have to reckon with that."

Unlike most of the candidates we endorse, Sage is not running to replace a geriatric Democrat in a safe seat, he’s running to beat an incumbent Republican in a heavily Republican state.
