Zohran for NYC Mayor
22 May 2025 Reading time: 3 minutes
Many insist you’re not a genuine New Yorker until you’ve clocked a full decade here…. by that measure – I’m barely scraping by.
Others maintain it’s an inherited title, reserved exclusively for those born within the five boroughs.
To me, being a New Yorker isn’t about years on your lease or where you were born—it’s about team spirit, resilience, and an open heart. It’s showing up for your neighbors, celebrating the city’s vibrant diversity, and sharing in its highs and lows.
It’s welcoming newcomers with curiosity, lifting one another through storms both literal and figurative, and carrying on the magic that makes this place ours.
It’s the resolute and unwavering conviction that when our neighbor is lifted, we all rise, stitching our individual journeys into a tapestry of shared success — because here, it’s We, not Me.
On the topic of who should be our face and captain - I have written about the conclusion that a fair amount of us have already come to — Cuomo is not right for the city — and therefore you should not rank Cuomo at all.
If you want more reasons - you can read through his extensive list of unethical behavior that extends over 10 years; here.
Not only that - he used $61,000,000 (61 million!!!) of NY taxpayer money on legally defending himself. Corrupt, unethical. He’s no New Yorker.
By the way, this is all before the other disastrous bullshit he did as governor - including cuts to the MTA & Medicaid — with Democrats like this, who needs the GOP.
Zohran For Mayor
Currently in second place - Zohran Mamdani is a New York State Assemblymember running for mayor of NYC. Beyond the invigoration he has already brought to the city with his energy; he has an inspiring platform that gives hope and an aura that inspires faith.

I won’t go on and on about him and his platform here — but here are some the top things in his platform (which you can fully read here) that I am most excited about:
- Freeze the rent.
- Fast, fare free buses.
- Buses are already one of my favorite things about the city - they are already great but they can be stellar (and free!).
- City-owned grocery stores.
- Grocery stores without the burden of overhead or a profit motive will give us access to drastically cheaper groceries.
- Various housing initiatives
- Housing prices are out of control, in addition to freezing the rent, Zohran will not just change zoning rules; but actually solve the issue to create affordable housing.
- In addition to all of this, he has a plan to crack down on bad landlords - which is way overdue.

Hope for a better future - one where your leader that you elect actually does the things he promises; for the people - is rare, especially in politics these days; and that is what feels different about this campaign.
Hope for NYC.
