Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old democratic socialist, campaigned on a platform aimed at making New York City more affordable. His proposals include making public buses free, reducing childcare costs, and freezing rents. He is set to be sworn in as the city’s mayor on January 1, 2026.
In light of his upcoming term, the BBC consulted New Yorkers regarding the key issues they hope Mamdani will address while in office.
