Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist Assembly Member representing Astoria, has become the latest contender in next year’s race to unseat embattled Mayor Eric Adams, according to city Campaign Finance Board records.
A member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Mamdani filed a committee to run for mayor in the 2025 Democratic primary with the CFB on Monday, according to the board’s records. A source with knowledge of the matter said Mamdani is expected to formally launch his campaign in the coming days.
