Zohran Mamdani, a socialist mayoral frontrunner, proposed a $10 billion agenda including free buses and city-owned grocery stores. He identified taxing the ultra-wealthy and corporations as the most straightforward way to fund the programs but admitted he may need alternative funding if Albany lawmakers or the governor block tax increases.
