"I'm wholly supportive of those two initiatives, Heastie told reporters. He added that he is not I'm not anticipating a fight with Hochul. In my conversations with the governor, she wants to expand universal child care, Heastie said. In the past, she was supportive of free buses. So, I'm not anticipating a fight. And I'm sure those are things that Zohran and the governor have spoken about, and I'm sure we'll figure it out."
"She said that while she does not agree with Mamdani across the board, they both see affordability as the most important issue to tackle at this moment."
Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie endorsed Zohran Mamdani and expressed full support for Mamdani's affordability proposals, including making city buses free and expanding universal no-cost child care. Heastie said he does not anticipate a conflict with Governor Kathy Hochul, noting Hochul's past support for free buses and stated interest in expanding universal child care. Heastie did not mention Mamdani's proposal to freeze rents for nearly one million stabilized tenants. Governor Hochul endorsed Mamdani two days earlier after months of hesitation and said that, despite disagreements on some issues, affordability is their shared top priority.
