Mayor Zohran Mamdani has endorsed a slate of candidates for the state legislature in Queens, backing Brian Romero, Aber Kawas and Samantha Kattan for open seats in Albany as well as backing Diana Moreno to retain her seat in his old Assembly District in the borough.
Mamdani, who announced the endorsements Saturday afternoon, put his political weight behind a number of candidates backed by the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), backing Kawas in the race to succeed outgoing State Sen. Mike Gianaris in the 12th Senate District. Assembly Member Steven Raga has also launched a campaign for the seat.
