Progressive NYC mayor candidate Mamdani gains traction with free-services promises

Underestimating a list of free programs and services during his campaign for the post of mayor of New York City, the Social Democratic candidate Zahran Mamdani prompted him to be among the best candidates, so that he was threatened by former New York Governor Andrew Como.

Mamdani’s campaign has gained a major traction in the New York City mayor’s race. Democratic primary elections on Tuesday, but the results are not expected tonight due to the city’s voting system, which holds polls and voting account.

Currently, a member of the New York State Council, Mamdani has gained some appreciation through approvals from large personalities such as Senator Bernie Sanders, the first, and MP Alexandria Okasio Cortez, Den. However, it has gained a bad reputation itself due to a platform of free services promised by the New York residents.

Mamdani said that he will finance his promised services by collecting an additional $ 10 billion of city revenues by raising taxes on companies and the largest 1 % of the New York population.

Another principle of the Mamdani platform is “Trump-Piping” New York City. Its website states that President Donald Trump’s enforcement of migration, definitions and other policies “rupture in the fabric of New York City.” The Mamdani website states that it will enhance the city’s city device by expelling ice from all the city’s facilities, ending any cooperation with the agency, in addition to increasing legal support for immigrants and protecting their personal data.

Its website also states that, as the mayor, Mamdani will make the city of New York LGBTQ+ Sanctury and protect “reproductive rights”.

So, how does the invoice look all this?

According to Politico reports this week, the Mamdani campaign estimates that providing comprehensive children’s care will cost between 5 and 7 billion dollars, and will cost the Ministry of Community Safety up to 450 million dollars in new spending, and the city’s food stores will cost another $ 60 million.
