Progressive New York mayoral candidate Mamdani gains traction with a promise of free service

Pledge a slate of free programs and services during his campaign New York City The mayor’s democratic socialist candidate, Zoran Mamdani, promoted him as one of the top candidates who even threatened the much-loved former New York governor Andrew Cuomo.

The Mamdani campaign gained great traction in the Mayor’s race in New York City. The Democratic primary is Tuesday, but results are not expected tonight due to the city’s ranked choice-to-option voting system that complicates voting and counting votes.

Mamdani, a member of the New York State Senator, has gained some recognition through recognition from famous people such as: Senator Bernie SandersI-Vt. , and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Dn. Y. However, he also gained infamy for his own rights, due to the platform that chocks up the free services he promised to New York residents.

Mamdani says it will fund the promised services by raising taxes for the top 1% of businesses and the wealthiest New Yorkers, raising an extra $10 billion in revenue.
