    Mamdani says he’s voting for housing ballot proposals, against even-year election measure
    Nov 4 2025
    New York City's Democratic mayoral front-runner, Zohran Mamdani, has expressed his support for four major housing ballot measures, sparking debate among city leaders, labor unions, and community groups. The proposals aim to expedite affordable housing development and shift land-use decision-making power from the City Council to the mayor's office. Mamdani, along with supporters like Governor Kathy Hochul and City Comptroller Brad Lander, argue these measures will help address the city's housing crisis. However, opponents like Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa have taken differing stances, with Cuomo advocating for low-density neighborhood protection and Sliwa strongly opposing the proposals. Mamdani also shared his views on other ballot questions, including his opposition to moving city elections to even years and his support for a land-swap measure related to the Mount Van Hoevenberg Olympic complex. These votes have the potential to significantly impact neighborhood growth and development in New York City for years to come.

    In the upcoming November fourth New York mayoral election, democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, a thirty-four-year-old state assemblymember, is leading the race against former Governor Andrew Cuomo, running as an independent, and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani's promises of making New York more affordable and equitable have energized younger voters, and if he wins, he would be the highest-profile democratic socialist in recent memory and the city's first Muslim mayor. Cuomo, meanwhile, is leaning on his experience and has received an unexpected endorsement from President Donald Trump. With high voter turnout and a sense of urgency, New Yorkers are eager for leaders who will address affordability and fight for fairness.
