Zohran Mamdani has secured endorsements from the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) and several other unions, previously supporters of Andrew Cuomo. Following his Democratic primary election victory, Mamdani promises to enhance public school funding and ensure quality education. He emphasized the critical need for strong advocacy for New York City's teachers and students amid challenges stemming from external authoritarian pressures and internal affordability crises. Prominent endorsements also include the Hotel and Gaming Trades Council, SEIU 32BJ, New York State Nurses Association, and the Central Labor Council.
Public education is under attack from Trump's authoritarianism on the outside and an affordability crisis from the inside. The need for a true fighter for New York City teachers and students has never been higher.
I pledge to bolster public school funding, provide quality education, and make sure teachers are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.
