Mamdani's Morningside Heights Pals Join Him at City Hall

Zohran Mamdani, New York City's first Muslim and Asian American mayor and a proud democratic socialist, grew up in Morningside Heights and now pulls neighbors from that progressive enclave into City Hall power spots. This socialist fresh off his 2025 upset win over Andrew Cuomo pushes big-government schemes like fare-free buses, city-run grocery stores, rent freezes, and a $30 minimum wage by 2030, all funded by soaking corporations and millionaires.
