Our Revolution Hails Zohran Mamdani’s Historic Grassroots Triumph in NYC Mayoral Primary
NEW YORK CITY — Joseph Geevarghese, Executive Director of Our Revolution—the nation’s largest grassroots independent political organization—issued the following statement in response to tonight’s results in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary:
“Zohran Mamdani has shaken the political establishment and proven that a united grassroots movement can take down even the most entrenched, powerful forces. This race was a showdown between the billionaire-backed status quo—which poured tens of millions into pro-Cuomo super PACs—and a new generation ready to crush corporate greed and deliver real results for working people. The demand for people-powered change is loud, clear, and unstoppable.
“Tonight, we celebrate this historic victory. Tomorrow, we hit the ground running to finish the fight—and elect Zohran Mamdani as the next mayor of New York City.”
Earlier this month, Our Revolution formally endorsed Mamdani, urging its 431,000 grassroots supporters across New York City to rank the Queens Assemblymember as their top choice on the primary ballot. In the lead-up to the general election in November, the group plans to mobilize these supporters once again to ensure Zohran Mamdani is elected as the city’s next mayor.
