Queens Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic mayoral campaign recieved support from the Tenants Political Action Committee (PAC), amNewYork learned on Wednesday — a decision that adds to the long list of progressive organizations backing the Democratic socialist’s City Hall bid.
Tenants PAC told amNewYork ahead of its May 14 announcement that it would back Mamdani while encouraging voters to rank “tenant-friendly” candidates in the four remaining spots on their ballots, instead of formally backing any other contenders. However, the group is urging voters not to rank former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the current front-runner in the mayor’s race, who resigned in 2021 amid multiple sexual misconduct allegations that he denies.
