Former US Rep. Jamaal Bowman endorsed Zohran Mamdani in the mayoral race, emphasizing their shared commitment to working-class issues. Despite criticism over Bowman's past, including a felony conviction for tampering with a fire alarm, Mamdani embraced the endorsement as a way to attract voters and challenge frontrunner Andrew Cuomo. Mamdani criticized Cuomo's connections to wealthy donors, while Bowman reiterated Mamdani's position as the candidate representing the working class. The announcement took place in Co-Op City, a community with significant black representation.
With Bowman's help we not only reach more voters in the Bronx, but expose Cuomo's record of failure and corruption.
Andrew Cuomo is taking money from the same billionaires who support Donald Trump. We got people like Donald Trump because of people like Andrew Cuomo.
Mamdani called Bowman's endorsement 'historic' and praised him as a kindred soul on affordability issues for the working class.
Bowman was run out of office by voters after pleading guilty to falsely pulling a fire alarm in the Capitol to delay a vote.
