Statement Regarding Mayoral Election Results

Congratulations to NYC Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani on his historic victory! CIANA is very proud to have him as our Assemblyman and a supporter of our mission, and we eagerly look forward to his leadership in the next four years as Mayor of NYC - the City that we all love!

As an immigrant himself, Zohran Mamdani is a staunch supporter of immigrants and an advocate for low-income New Yorkers. His movement has continued to grow in spite of resurging Islamophobia and anti-immigrant rhetoric. Mayor-Elect Mamdani has pledged to defend civil liberties, advance affordable housing, and make New York City more equitable, safe, and a place of opportunity and hope for all. We are confident of his ability to fulfill his campaign promises and his assurance that “New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight--led by an immigrant” in his victory speech.

A heartfelt MABROUK from all of us at CIANA!
