The Working Families Party has fought for a more affordable New York for decades. I am honored to lead their slate as their first choice for Mayor.
Our city is done with the corrupt politics of the past and ready for a new generation of leadership. Let’s win it together.

As NYWFP works to consolidate support around its slate of candidates, we're proud to rank @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social #1 🥳
To give voters clear guidance, we're ranking a full slate of 5 candidates. When we unite, we can defeat Cuomo & elect a mayor who fights for us. Let's get this done!

I’m asking for your donation. But it’s not for me.
To defeat Andrew Cuomo and turn the page on corruption, we need strong candidates in this race like Speaker Adrienne Adams.
NYC, give what you can before Monday night’s deadline!

The Trump-Vance admin just deported two families, including three US citizen kids ages 2, 4, and 7.
Both families were detained and then blocked from communicating with attorneys or family members.
One of the moms is pregnant. One of the citizen kids has cancer. Both deported without medical help.

Cuomo paused to listen to my question about Mahmoud Khalil, the Palestinian activist arrested by ICE this weekend — but he didn’t answer, just saying “I’m sorry”
He was absolutely surrounded by aides fighting to keep reporters away as he left the union endorsement event.
