New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Sunday she is endorsing NYC’s Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani.
Writing in The New York Times, the Democratic governor explained that while the two still don't see eye to eye on every issue, her conversations with him over the last couple of months have convinced her the democratic socialist is the best candidate to lead the Big Apple.
But in our conversations, I heard a leader who shares my commitment to a New York where children can grow up safe in their neighborhoods and where opportunity is within reach for every family. I heard a leader who is focused on making New York City affordable — a goal I enthusiastically support.
I also shared with him my priorities, making it very clear that our police officers should have every resource to keep our streets and subways safe. I urged him to ensure that there is strong leadership at the helm of the N.Y.P.D. — and he agreed.
