Primary election day in New York City is next Tuesday – June 24. The
mayor’s race is a pivotal test for progressives nationwide. That’s why
we’re thrilled to endorse Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani for Mayor!

Zohran is surging in the polls -- within 2 points of Andrew Cuomo,
according to Politico.

The choice is simple: America’s biggest city could have a disgraced,
abusive former Governor endorsed by billionaires -- or an inspiring
generational leader endorsed by a coalition of unions, progressive elected
officials and groups, and community leaders who fight for working
families.

In the city’s ranked choice system, voters can rank up to 5 candidates for
mayor. Then, in a series of rounds, the lowest vote getter automatically
gets eliminated and their supporters’ votes go to that supporter’s next
choice.

Alongside the Working Families Party, we urge voters to rank Zohran
Mamdani #1, longtime progressive Brad Lander #2, and to NOT rank Cuomo at
all.

In fact, Zohran and Lander have endorsed each other: "We both love New
York City. And that’s why it’s so important to not send scandal-ridden,
corrupt Andrew Cuomo to City Hall. Brad and I are officially telling our
supporters: If I’m number one, rank the other number two."

Zohran is a 33-year old organizer-turned-Assemblyman who says his campaign
is about "fighting for the working class every day." Bernie Sanders
endorsed him because he will "stand up to powerful corporate interests" on
behalf of working families. Issues like child care, free bus service for
workers, and affordable housing are top issues.

Of the $33 million spent in this race so far, $18 million is for Andrew
Cuomo – including by big corporations and billionaire Mike Bloomberg on
Cuomo’s behalf. The next 5 candidates were $13.5 million combined. But the
polls are still tight, which is why our support is needed now.

Zohran’s campaign has taken the media by storm and galvanized an
unprecedented volunteer army of thousands of everyday New Yorkers around a
clear vision: a city that working class people can afford to call home.

Zohran says, “The people have the power.” He made a closing argument
against Cuomo in the final debate: "I have never had to resign in
disgrace. I have never cut Medicaid. I have never stolen hundreds of
millions of dollars from the MTA. I have never hounded the thirteen women
who credibly accused me of sexual harassment. I have never sued for their
gynecological records. And I have never done these things because I am not
you, Mr. Cuomo."

And Brad Lander has been a terrific New York City comptroller. As you
probably saw, he was just arrested by masked ICE agents while accompanying
immigrants to court, simply for asking to see a warrant. He's a model of
resistance for elected officials, and we're grateful for his leadership.

This election is a historic flashpoint in our fight to stop corrupt
politicians and billionaires from buying our democracy and working against
everyday families.
