I'm a New York Jew and I voted for Zohran Mamdani.

I think Mamdani will be the best mayor for Jews and all New Yorkers.

Agreed

I'm a New York Jew and I voted for Zohran Mamdani.

I think Mamdani will be the best mayor for Jews and all New Yorkers.

Please vote today!

Happy earth day. Federal funding is being denied to any infrastructure project whose proposal includes the words “wind” or “solar.” (At least we are being governed by people smart enough to figure out how to use the CTRL F function)
