Zohran Mamdani on Voter Turnout, Democracy, and Cost of Living

Voter Turnout and Democracy

• 🎯 Democracy's value is measured by its ability to deliver on the material needs of working New Yorkers.
• 💬 Increased participation strengthens democracy and the movement when New Yorkers see their struggles reflected in it.

Campaign Priorities and Day One Actions
