"Mamdani's historic victory in New York City, which made made him the city's first Muslim mayor and the youngest since 1892, saw him secure 50.39 per cent of the vote and see off Democrat-turned-independent candidate and former NYC governor Andrew Cuomo. Unashamedly pro-LGBTQ+, Mamdani's campaign centred LGBTQ+ rights and following his win he pledged to protect trans New Yorkers amid on-going attacks by the Trump administration."
""A love for hard-work, a deep belief in the promise of New York City, and a commitment to the affordability agenda that New Yorkers are demanding unite the more than 400 experts we have appointed to our Transition Committees today," Mamdani said in a statement. "By helping us recruit top talent and develop smart policy, these Committees will be instrumental to ensuring we hit the ground running on January 1st - and that our results align with the promises we've made.""
Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral race with 50.39% of the vote, becoming the city's first Muslim mayor and its youngest since 1892. His campaign centered on LGBTQ+ rights and pledged protection for trans New Yorkers amid federal attacks. Mamdani appointed more than 400 people to 17 transition committees to help build his government. Appointees include trans rabbi Abby Stein, an ex-Orthodox Jew, author, activist and rabbi at Brooklyn's Kolot Chayein synagogue who participated in the 'Jews for Zohran' campaign. Right-wing commentators criticized Stein's appointment for alleged anti-Zionist affiliations, while allies praised her.
