Zohran K. Mamdani, a 33-year-old assemblyman from Queens, aspires to become New York City's mayor, leveraging a grassroots campaign inspired by fellow progressives. Known for his approachable demeanor and dedication to constituents, Mamdani focuses on affordability in his messaging. He has gained considerable support through social media, raising funds from numerous individual donors. Music remains a vital part of his life amidst the demands of his political career, illustrating how personal passions can coexist with public service.
Mamdani has never found himself too far from the world of music. He volunteered for Ali Najmi's campaign for City Council, in 2015, after learning about the candidate from former Das Racist rapper Heems.
When Mamdani announced his run last October, he was considered a dark horse in the race. But in just five months, his grassroots, social media-driven campaign... made him the first candidate to max out on public fundraising.
