"Mamdani's busy Sunday after birthday Queens Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor, kept busy on Sunday, starting the day on the trail with an address to the congregants of St. Albans Congregational Church in St. Albans, Queens. Mamdani has made a habit of visiting churches on Sundays and addressing congregants about his plans for affordability, housing, and public safety. Mamdani, a democratic socialist, turned 34 on Saturday, and asked supporters to celebrate his birthday by signing up for a canvassing shift."
"In September, Mamdani, having hit the Campaign Finance Board's fundraising cap, asked for volunteers to stop giving money to his campaign and instead sign up for a canvassing shift. The candidate has amassed a historic, youth-led ground operation composed of over 75,000 volunteers knocking doors across New York City's five boroughs. On Sunday, Mamdani stopped by a canvassing event in Astoria, Queens before heading to Queens College for a Metro IAF Mayoral Action Forum."
"It was unclear if other candidates planned to participate in the forum. After the forum, Mamdani planned to head to Coney Island to participate in a campaign-sponsored Cost of Living Classic Signature Soccer Tournament. The candidate, who has focused almost entirely on New York City's affordability crisis throughout the duration of his campaign, has hosted various activities for the public, including a citywide scavenger hunt and a paper-shredding event."
With 16 days until Election Day and six days until early voting, remaining mayoral candidates intensified campaign activities on Sunday. Zohran Mamdani began the day addressing congregants at St. Albans Congregational Church in Queens and has frequently visited churches to outline plans on affordability, housing and public safety. Mamdani, a democratic socialist who turned 34 on Saturday, asked supporters to celebrate his birthday by signing up for canvassing shifts rather than donating. After hitting the Campaign Finance Board fundraising cap in September, he urged volunteers to stop giving money and join door-to-door efforts. His campaign operates a youth-led ground operation of over 75,000 volunteers across all five boroughs. On Sunday he attended events in Astoria and at Queens College and planned to participate in a Coney Island soccer tournament, and his campaign has hosted public activities including a citywide scavenger hunt and a paper-shredding event.
