But you know hes not going to do that if hes proven to be a liar and lack integrity already, right? You do know he already is an assembly person for NY State? Whats his record? He doesnt seem to be doing shyt there. And being a fraud doesnt mean a short lived political career either. As i said, we gonna have to start looking at yall folks that keep supporting the problem acting like yall not.
Oh, what's he lied about?
Key Legislative Achievements:
Fare-Free Bus Pilot Program: Mamdani successfully advocated for and helped launch a pilot program to eliminate fares on certain New York City bus routes. While the program demonstrated positive results like increased ridership and reduced assaults on operators, it was not reauthorized after its initial run.
Increased Public Participation in Rule-Making: Two of the bills that became law amended the State Administrative Procedure Act to increase public involvement in agency decision-making.
A6267 (2021): This bill established a three-year pilot for regulatory agencies to use "innovative techniques" during public hearings, allowing for public questions and expanding hearing formats.
A8796 (2022): This law lowered the threshold for requiring public hearings from 500 to 125 petitioners for certain agencies.
Museum Liquor License Amendment: A 2023 measure adjusted state liquor laws related to the sale of alcohol at the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, addressing restrictions near a school.
Beyond the Passed Legislation:
Mamdani is known for his forceful voice in Albany despite the relatively thin legislative record.
He is a vocal critic of Israel's military response in Gaza and supports the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, although a bill he drafted related to Israeli settler activity did not pass.
He participated in a hunger strike with taxi drivers to advocate for debt relief and helped secure funding in the state budget for subway service and the fare-free bus pilot.
He has advocated for climate action, including opposing fossil fuel infrastructure and supporting statewide measures like the All-Electric Buildings Act and congestion pricing.
Mamdani has proposed further progressive policies as part of his mayoral campaign, including free universal childcare, a rent freeze for rent-stabilized apartments, and increased affordable housing.
Seems aligned with what he's running on. It's not like he was some status quo Dem who is flipping to the progressive tip out of the blue.
