Campaign Support for the 2025 New York City Mayoral Race
Zohran Mamdani, a Democrat running for office, has garnered a significant number of endorsements from various labour unions and political figures ahead of the upcoming primary elections.
The United Federation of Teachers, District Council 37, 32BJ SEIU, NYC Central Labor Council AFL-CIO, Hotel and Gaming Trades Council, New York State Nurses Association, United Auto Workers Region 9A, American Federation of Musicians Local 802, 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, Actors' Equity Association, Communications Workers of America, Professional Staff Congress-CUNY, and the Brooklyn and Bronx Democratic Party Chairs are among those who have pledged their support for Mamdani.
City & State, a New York-based political news outlet, has confirmed these endorsements with the individuals or groups directly, through news reports, or on the endorsers' social media accounts. However, the search results do not provide information on the key supporters of Mamdani listed by City & State who were not supported by the city administration.
Endorsements can play a crucial role in political campaigns, helping to mobilize supporters and prompt people to volunteer. They can also boost fundraising efforts and add credibility to a campaign, especially when announced at a critical juncture.
However, the impact of endorsements may be limited in highly polarized races, as was evident in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary last year. Andrew Cuomo, who had early support from most of the city's major powerbrokers, ultimately lost handily to his opponent.
In a surprising turn of events, President Donald Trump, who has been reportedly pushing to get Mayor Eric Adams out of the race, called Adams a 'very good person' and 'a good independent,' but did not endorse him.
As the primary elections approach, Mamdani's extensive list of endorsements could prove to be a valuable asset, potentially turning a local politician into a national figure. Whether these endorsements will translate into votes remains to be seen.
