Zohran Mamdani’s 2025 New York City mayoral campaign platform focused on addressing the cost-of-living crisis for working-class New Yorkers through progressive, socialist-inspired policies. Key proposals included:
- Rent Freeze: Freezing rent increases for over 2 million tenants in rent-stabilized apartments to prevent displacement and provide immediate financial relief.
- Free Public Buses: Expanding a successful fare-free bus pilot program citywide to increase ridership, reduce violence against drivers, and ease transit costs. Estimated cost: $900 million annually.
- Universal No-Cost Childcare: Offering free childcare for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years to support working parents and boost the economy. Estimated cost: $2–$7 billion annually.
- City-Owned Grocery Stores: Establishing five municipal grocery stores (one per borough) to sell affordable staples at wholesale prices, addressing food deserts and price gouging. Estimated cost: $60 million.
- Affordable Housing: Tripling the city’s production of permanently affordable, union-built, rent-stabilized homes, including 200,000 new public housing units.
- Raising Minimum Wage: Increasing the city’s minimum wage to $30 per hour by 2030.
- Tax Increases: Funding these initiatives by raising $10 billion through higher taxes on corporations (to 11.5%) and a 2% flat tax on incomes over $1 million, plus hiring more tax auditors and cracking down on corrupt landlords.
- Community Safety: Creating a Department of Community Safety to prevent violence through mental health and crisis response programs, reducing reliance on police.
- Trump-Proofing NYC: Strengthening sanctuary city policies by expelling ICE from city facilities, increasing legal support for immigrants, and protecting LGBTQ+ and reproductive rights.
