Zohran Mamdani is a NYC Mayoral Candidate and a vocal champion of housing justice. He represents Astoria in the New York State Assembly and is running for mayor in the 2024 election.
Mamdani is pushing for rent freezes, property tax reforms, and a redistribution of wealth from richer neighborhoods to underserved, working-class communities in the outer boroughs.
Mira Nair, Mamdani's mother, owned a luxury loft in Manhattan’s West Chelsea, which she purchased in 2008 for $1.375 million and sold in 2019 for $1.45 million.
The ownership of a high-end property in a ‘richer, whiter’ Manhattan neighborhood by Mamdani’s family may complicate his message of housing equity and redistribution.
Mamdani's main rivals in the 2024 New York City mayoral election are incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, running as an independent, and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa.
