Candidate briefing
Zohran Mamdani is the Mayor of New York City. A Democratic Socialist and former New York State Assemblymember, he won the 2025 mayoral race and now holds City Hall — the highest-profile progressive governing win of that cycle.
Mamdani campaigned on housing, fare-free buses, and a city that working people can actually afford. He is in office now, not running for the Assembly seat he left behind.
Why Political Revolution supports him: winning City Hall is the test of whether the movement can govern at scale — and New York is watching.
