Zohram Kwame Mamdani is the Democrat candidate for Mayor of New York in November 2025. He says: I am an immigrant, a Muslim, a socialist and a New Yorker. 

Zohran Kwame Mamdani (born October 18, 1991) is an American politician from the state of New York. Mamdani has served since 2021 as a member of the New York State Assembly from the 36th district, based in Queens. A member of the Democratic Party and the Democratic Socialists of America, he is the presumptive Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City in the 2025 election.

The son of professor Mahmood Mamdani and filmmaker Mira Nair, Mamdani immigrated to the United States with his family when he was seven years old and settled in New York City. After graduating from the Bronx High School of Science, Mamdani earned a bachelor's degree in Africana studies from Bowdoin College. He worked as a housing counselor and hip-hop musician before entering politics. He was first elected to the New York State Assembly in 2020, defeating four-term incumbent Aravella Simotas in a Democratic primary. Mamdani was reelected without opposition in 2022 and 2024.

Mira Nair (born October 15, 1957) is an Indian-American filmmaker. Her production company is Mirabai Films.

Mahmood Mamdani  (born 23 April 1946) is a Ugandan academic, author, and political commentator. He is the Herbert Lehman Professor of Government and a professor of anthropology, political science and African studies at Columbia University and also serves as the chancellor of Kampala International University in Uganda.

In October 2024, Mamdani announced his candidacy for mayor of New York City in the 2025 mayoral election. His campaign platform includes support for fare-free city buses, public child care, city-owned grocery stores, a rent freeze on rent-stabilized units, additional affordable housing units, comprehensive public safety reform, and a $30 minimum wage by 2030. Mamdani also supports tax increases on corporations and those earning above $1 million annually. He has been sharply critical of the state of Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people, pledging to abide by the International Criminal Court arrest warrants for Israeli leaders by arresting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he were to visit New York City. During the Democratic primaries, Mamdani received endorsements from prominent progressive politicians, including Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Mamdani became the Democratic Party's presumptive mayoral nominee after Andrew Cuomo conceded the 2025 New York City Democratic mayoral primary.

Mamdani was born on 23 April 1946 in Bombay, India, during the period of British colonial rule, and was raised in Kampala, Uganda. He is a Ugandan of Indian descent, with parents who were Gujarati Muslims.

Comments

Adams should have run for mayor of New York as a Republican. He knows what needs to be done.

Mamdani’s election to mayor of New York would be a disaster for New Yorkers. It would not be good the US. Big Companies would move out of New York. All high-paying jobs would move out.  Property values would plummet and the tax base would be destroyed. Kathy Hochul has not endorsed Mamdani. She knows he would destroy the tax base. She will have to rely on Trump to stop Mamdani.

The Republican candidate is Curtis Sliwa. Mayor Adams is running as an Independent. This is a 3-way race. Republicans are asking Adams to withdraw and help Sliwa get elected. Adams would then join the Sliwa Administration. This is the only way to beat Mamdani. Trump would campaign to keep Mamdani out.

Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa is the founder of the Guardian Angels and has no experience in government.
