“‘The era of empty promises ends.’ That’s the vision that drove our mayoral campaign. It’s the foundation of my administration. It’s also what Governor Kathy Hochul said as we celebrated an agreement to deliver universal childcare-one of the largest expansions of the social safety net in our city’s history. It is as consequential a policy victory as our movement has seen in quite some time.”
“A burden of more than $22,500 lifted, the difference between whether or not a family can stay in the city they love with the children they want to raise. It was made possible by the nearly 100,000 volunteers who talked to millions of New Yorkers at their doors. But it would not have happened, just eight days into our administration, without Governor Hochul moving to provide more than $1 billion in state funding,” writes New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in the Nation as he formally endorses state Governor Kathy Hochul for reelection in what may or may not be seen as selling out.
