Mamdani Asks ‘Working People Who Have Been Left Behind’ to Donate Money to His Transition Team

TRANSCRIPT:

MAMDANI: “Well, thank you for the question. It’s transition2025.com. And, you know, there were — a few months ago where I told supporters across this city to stop donating and today I am asking them to start once again. And I am asking them to do so because of the fact that a transition that can meet the moment of preparing for January 1st is one that will require staff, it will require research, it will require infrastructure, and those are things that we will have to provide. And I’m excited for the fact that it will be funded by the very people who brought us to this point, the working people who have been left behind by the politics of this city.”
