Zohran (Zoran) Mamdani

While there are three candidates on this stage, you will hear only two messages.

My opponents who spend more time trying to convince the other to drop out than actually proposing their own policies will speak only of the past because that's all that they know.

I am the sole candidate running with a vision for the future of this city.

I am going to increase that pilot program to more than 200 schools, and we're going to do it because we have to deliver for these children.

Come on.

Yes or no.

What is your opinion?

Yes or no, Zoran?

Don't be a politician here.

I got it.

They're pointing out what I was about to say.

I think on the stage you can see two people appealing for the Republican Party's votes.

Answer the question.

What I am proposing is something that will address the needs of New Yorkers in the present.

We speak and hear from New Yorkers across the five boroughs who outline how the mental health crisis is one of the major challenges in this city.

And yet what we have in our city is asking those same police officers who are being asked to respond to shootings, respond to murders, to also respond to these calls.

I trust the dispatchers who would be receiving these calls to make the determination as to whether there was any indication of violence.

If there is no indication of a threat of violence, then we would set the mental health experts and providers to respond to those same incidents.

Mr. Cuomo.

In 2021, 13 different women who worked in your administration incredibly accused you of sexual harassment.
