In private, @ZohranKMamdani has shown himself to be “a pragmatic and cunning politician at the height of his powers and unafraid to use them — even if it means delivering a sharp elbow to old friends and compromising his ideological purity as a democratic socialist.”

STATEMENT ON SLIMEBOB ATTACKING FRONTLINE PETITIONER A guy on my campaign made a mistake while gathering petitions years ago and was arrested for it. We didn't know about his arrest when we hired him and, upon learning, we promptly terminated him with severance as I feel bad for any front line worker who loses their job. The guy insisted he learned from his mistake and would never make it again. I believe him but still decided it was right to part ways while also agreeing to pay him severance as I genuinely feel bad about the situation. My opponent is now trying to spin this to smear me but what's truly absurd is I'm running against a guy that was arrested for a far worse violation than this front line petitioner. Slimebob truly is a slimely as they come but I have to give him credit for one thing — he is finally showing some courage as it takes balls to attack a front line petitioner who was arrested while knowing full well that he was arrested for something worse.
