Solving New York City’s housing crisis is at the heart of Zohran Mamdani’s campaign for mayor, and some Democrats argue their party should take cues from him and do a better job of focusing on affordable housing.
“His laser focus on affordability from housing to childcare is exactly where our focus should be,” Rep. Sarah McBride told NOTUS. “Clearly his message resonated with New Yorkers, and I think we would do well to learn how to focus, to be disciplined with our focus, and to go everywhere. That’s how you win.”
“Look, policies are going to look different in different places about what needs to be done,” McBride added. “But we certainly need a laser focus on guaranteeing more affordable housing.”
