Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani raises impressive $845K as dark horse NYC mayoral bid builds momentum
Briefly

Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old socialist and Queens Assembly member, has raised nearly $1 million for his NYC mayoral campaign, reflecting strong support across all boroughs. His funding includes over $500,000 eligible for matching funds, potentially granting him $4 million in taxpayer cash. His platform prioritizes issues affecting working-class New Yorkers. With over 16,000 donations, primarily from local residents, his campaign shows promising momentum, directly outperforming rivals like Brad Lander and Scott Stringer in fundraising and indicating a growing popularity ahead of the June Democratic primary.
We have a North Star, that is all driven by the belief that working-class New Yorkers cannot afford to worry about anything beyond cost.
His campaign boasted that it got donations from more than 16,000 people, 73% of them Big Apple residents.
Mamdani drastically outperformed City Comptroller Brad Lander and ex-Comptroller Scott Stringer in this reporting period.
