Mamdani’s mayoral campaign centered on making the city more affordable for working-class New Yorkers. Here are some key highlights from his platform:
Free childcare
Mamdani ran on Universal Childcare, promising free childcare for children from 5 weeks to 5 years old.
Recruiting thousands of new teachers
Mamdani has proposed a $12 million plan to recruit 1,000 new teachers annually by offering tuition assistance in exchange for a three-year teaching commitment. He also supports the state’s class size caps of 20–25 students.
Eliminating Gifted & Talented Kindergarten program
If elected, Mamdani wants to eliminate NYC’s Gifted & Talented (G&T) track for kindergartners in public schools. These programs typically used the same curriculum, but move at a faster pace. The program would be phased out starting in Fall 2026.
Ending mayoral control of city schools
Mamdani has said he’s opposed to mayoral control over the city’s schools, saying it gives too much power to the mayor and too little to parents and educators. He would like to create a new model of “co-governance,” sharing authority with parents, teachers and local councils.
Supporting vulnerable students
Homelessness among New York City students is at an all-time high. Mamdani has voiced support for expanding community schools that provide wraparound services such as mental health care, dental clinics, and social support. The city currently operates more than 400 of these schools.
Freezing rent
Mamdani has pledged to immediately freeze the rent for the more than 2 million New Yorkers in rent-stabilized apartments.
Building affordable housing
As mayor, Mamdani plus to construct 200,000 100% affordable homes over the next 10 years.
Free city buses
Mamdani has proposed making city buses free and faster through priority bus lanes, expanded bus queue jump signals, and dedicated loading zones.
City-owned grocery stores
Mamdani wants to create a network of city-owned grocery stores, starting with one pilot store in each borough. These stores would buy and sell at wholesale prices and will focus on keeping prices low.
