This September is not politics as usual. It is a referendum on the future of New York City: Will we remain a city of law, prosperity, and safety, or will we hand the keys to Zohran Kwame Mamdani, a self-declared democratic socialist, a cheerleader for Hamas, and an enemy of the Jewish community?

Mamdani doesnot just sympathize with radicals – he is one. His rise is powered by the Democratic Socialists of America, whose ideology is embraced by the likes of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. It is the same movement that has pushed to defund the police, vilify Israel, and dismantle the economy. This isnot hidden information. It is Mamdani’s platform: weaken policing, punish the wealthy, and side with Israel’s enemies under the banner of “solidarity.”

The Record That Speaks for Itself

In Albany, Mamdani was the face of the “Not On Our Dime” bill (A6101/S606), a scheme to weaponize the courts against Jewish charities that support Israel. Leaders across the Jewish spectrum warned the bill would unleash harassment against mainstream institutions. This was not sloppy drafting. It was deliberate lawfare to punish Jews for standing with their homeland.

On moral issues, Mamdani’s record is equally alarming. He pledged support for dismantling long-standing restrictions on vice industries, signaling his willingness to erode the guardrails that protect families and neighborhoods. As mayor, he would have the authority to set enforcement priorities, shape budgets, and broadcast this agenda across the city.

The Company He Keeps

His father, Mahmood Mamdani, is not simply a Columbia University scholar. He sits on the Gaza Tribunal’sAdvisory Policy Council, a body known for echoing Hamas propaganda and anti-Israel positions. This alignment is not accidental. It reflects an ideology passed down and proudly carried forward.

What New York Would Look Like Under Mamdani

  • A diminished police force, which would cause an increase in crime. A mayor wedded to de-policing means fewer officers, slower responses, and emboldened criminals.
  • Jewish life under siege. A City Hall that normalizes “Not On Our Dime” gives a message to schools, agencies, and institutions that Jewish organizations are fair game, inviting harassment and intimidation.
  • Economic punishment. Mamdani’s worldview is not about opportunity but is about envy. He seeks to abolish the wealthy, penalize hardworking New Yorkers, and drive out small businesses. Capital flight will not be a risk; it will be inevitable.

Families are already saying what once they only whispered: “If Mamdani wins, we’re leaving.” Community members are preparing to move to Deal, New Jersey, or Florida. This is not melodrama. It is rational self-preservation when Jewish life feels conditional, not guaranteed.

Why Registration Is Everything

Mamdani’s strategy is simple: count on apathy. He doesn’t need most New Yorkers to agree with him. He only needs enough people to stay home. That is how he won his primary, and that is how he plans to march into City Hall.

The answer is clear: register and vote. Every eligible voter must be on the voting rolls before the deadline. Applications must be received by a board of elections no later than October 25th to be eligible to vote in the November general election. In the general election, your party doesnot matter. Republican, Democrat, Independent – if you are registered, you can vote. Two minutes online secures your voice. Do it now, and make sure your family and friends do the same.

The Bottom Line

This election is not about left versus right. It is about survival: safe streets, a working economy, and Jewish life in New York. Mamdani has shown us exactly who he is: a radical, a Hamas sympathizer, and an adversary of everything this city was built upon.

If you want a New York that protects families, rewards hard work, and refuses to launder anti-Semitism through policy, there are only two steps: register and vote.

Stop Mamdani. Save New York.
