This Week's Top Story

 

People Centered Policies Win BIG on Election Day 

Turn the volume up! Zohran Mamdani is New York's 111th mayor. Mamdani's win is huge for a myriad of reasons as he is New York's first Muslim and South Asian Mayor and he's one of the youngest at just 34 years old. Several other states have wins locally including New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. These wins also tell us people on all sides are fed-up with the current administration.
