So well said, Jeff. Mamdani won NYC by emphasizing affordability (and not being Andrew Cuomo helped too). And guess who that resonated with? Just about everybody! It was soul-warming to see Americans in so many places last night and in the preceding weeks exercising their franchise. The idea that people are listening, responding, and participating is empowering for emerging leaders. Here's to thoughtful, disciplined governance as an operating principle!
Mamdani won big. But he has a real challenge ahead of him. From the start he'll face stiff headwinds from the oligarchs who failed to defeat him in the election. I wish him luck. I hope he succeeds for the sake of all those average working New Yorkers--many of them young and hopeful--who voted for him.
