Track Mayor Zohran Mamdani's daily key actions and activities.
Mayor Mamdani endorsed Governor Kathy Hochul for reelection in an op-ed published in The Nation. Mamdani cited their partnership on universal childcare, which secured over $1 billion in state funding, as a key factor. He acknowledged they do not agree on everything but praised Hochul's willingness to engage in honest dialogue that leads to results.
Mayor Mamdani appointed Phylisa Wisdom to lead NYC's Office to Combat Antisemitism. Wisdom most recently served as executive director of the New York Jewish Agenda (NYJA), a progressive Jewish advocacy organization. At NYJA, she advocated for antisemitism legislation in Albany and testified before the NYC Council supporting hate-crime prevention funding.
Mayor Mamdani announced the opening of a request for information (RFI) to recruit new providers for the existing 3K program and a new 2K childcare initiative, marking the first expansion in five years. The city targets 2,000 two-year-old seats by end of 2026 and approximately 12,000 seats in 2027. The expansion is tied to the over $1 billion partnership with Governor Hochul for universal childcare.
