Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul completed their first two weeks as governing partners on Wednesday, marking a busy start to the enactment of an ambitious shared affordability agenda.
The newly elected mayor and the governor, running for re-election this year, claimed numerous victories in the early days of their working relationship, with the crown jewel being their Jan. 8 announcement of a citywide free childcare program for two-year-olds, a home run on a high-priority agenda item for both elected officials.
