NYC DSA Targets Albany Growth After Mamdani Victory
TL;DR
Eight NYC DSA candidates (seven for the Assembly, one for the State Senate) are running in Albany to expand socialist representation and push for universal childcare and higher taxes on the wealthy. The effort builds on Mamdani’s mayoral momentum, with volunteers having knocked on over 523,000 doors and aiming for 1 million by Primary Day, while Gov. Hochul’s pied-à-terre tax represents a partial win for the movement.
