Zohran Mamdani Made Addressing Climate Change Central to His Affordability Plan for New York - Inside Climate News The official winner of the city’s Democratic mayoral primary has a record of fighting polluting natural gas infrastructure and supports Local Law 97 to cut carbon emissions from city buildings.

This is why supporting local elections matters. Local races like Ravi's can be decided by a few hundred votes and they can get climate champions in positions to #MakePollutersPay!
