His slogan speaks to me. I wish I could vote for him. I lived 9 1/2 years in NYC and leaving was hard, but it just got too expensive even with a job that paid me very well. I hope it becomes more affordable for those who stayed and for those like me that hope to return

Wow that interview was the perfect length! Thank you!

Much success, community, municipal support and the blessing of Law enforcement to Mamdani if he wins. He will need the NYPD to ensure his tenure is effective.

Learning is fun, I didn't know his Mom is a filmmaker. He is leadership in a new way.

CONGRATS! I just heard that Andrew Cuomo conceded to you ss the Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor! The tired old establishment is out, and a new generation of progressives is in. Way to go, NYC!

Best of luck in the general election! You got this! Do great stuff! Xoxo

I hope he's going to do better than the Democrats that voted not to impeach Trump this is going to be a serious serious problem we need a whole new system if he's not going to stand up for that and will he be complicit
