Could New York City soon have its first Muslim mayor? 🕌
Meet Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old Democratic Socialist and State Assembly member who’s turned heads with his historic primary win. In this video, we explore:
• 🌍 His roots: Born in Kampala, Uganda in 1991, raised in Queens from age 7, and a U.S. citizen since 2018  .
• 🏛️ Political journey: From rapper-turned-housing counselor to Assembly member in 2020, and now a breakthrough NYC mayoral candidate .
• 🎥 Family background: Son of acclaimed filmmaker Mira Nair and Columbia professor Mahmood Mamdani .
• 📣 Progressive agenda: Advocates for fare‑free buses, rent freezes, universal childcare, affordable housing, higher taxes on the wealthy, and city‑owned grocery stores .
• 🌐 Historic milestone: If elected, he’d become NYC’s first Muslim and Indian American mayor—and one of its youngest ever .
• 🔥 Polarizing stances: Outspoken on Israeli–Palestinian issues, praised by progressives like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and attracting fierce criticism from centrists and GOP figures .
Join us as we trace the life, vision, and ambitions of Zohran Mamdani—what he stands for, why his campaign has energized young, working-class voters, and what this could mean for New York City’s future.
