The New York City mayoral election is just two months away. And this race is getting particular national attention because one of the leading candidates, Zohran Mamdani, proudly identifies as a democratic socialist. 

Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, is seeking re-election as an independent. Former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo is also running an independent bid after losing the Democratic primary to Mamdani, while Curtis Sliwa is on the ballot as the Republican nominee.  

The RealClearPolitics average of polls in the NYC mayoral race taken since July 1 shows Mamdani leading with 38.3% of the vote, followed by Cuomo at 23.3%, Sliwa at 16.6%, and Adams at 10.6%. As the frontrunner, Mamdani’s statements made during his mayoral campaign, as well as before his time in elected office, are receiving a lot of attention. 

Here are five things to know about Mamdani and his platform.
