Zohran Mamdani is the Mayor of New York City and should absolutely be at the memorial on Friday.
He's also a Muslim New Yorker—part of a vibrant community that's essential to this city, a community that lost many of its own on 9/11 and then endured terrible discrimination in its aftermath.
9/11 should be a day for mourning those we lost, honoring the heroes who served, and bringing our city together. This rhetoric from Vickie and others does the opposite. It is disgusting and needs to stop.
Today my office is releasing a major new analysis of income inequality in NYC.
We found that NYC has grown considerably more unequal since 2019. Nearly two-thirds of real income growth went to the top 1%, while median income actually fell after inflation and the bottom 90% saw essentially no real gains. Inequality has grown more in NYC than it has in the rest of the nation. 🧵
When you need to wage a tough fight, when you need to solve a tough problem… You want Micah in your corner.
This is the kind of leader we need fighting for us in congress.
“There is no city in America — and perhaps none on earth — more exposed to both the promise and peril of artificial intelligence than New York City.” https://t.co/rgjaFkrVQw
Our first ad of the campaign is out today.
The way we fight back against Donald Trump is to make government deliver for the people. I’ve done the work — throughout my entire career. Now, I’m running for Congress to defeat a broken politics and deliver for all New Yorkers.
To address the housing crisis, we need to build more housing — and we can’t let financing delays or duplicative reviews stand in the way.
@NYCComptroller and I both know New Yorkers can’t afford to wait.
Step one was fixing our zoning (City of Yes, charter revisions etc).
Step two is financing.
We’re launching a plan to deploy $4B from our pension funds to support housing construction and preservation across NYC.

Throwback to 1997: a young Mark Levine was already making history in Washington Heights, founding the Neighborhood Trust Federal Credit Union to give his community access to the American Dream.
Decades later, it’s still thriving, and so is the community.
Some of the reaction to Moody’s revision to a negative fiscal outlook for NYC is way over the top.
We are not in a “downward spiral”, we are not “driving off a cliff”.
NYC’s economy is growing. Tax revenue is growing. Office space is being rented at the fastest rate in 20 years. We had 65m tourists last year.
Yes we have a structural problem in our budget that has been building for years (we spend more than we bring in), which is what Moody’s is reacting to. But this is 100% fixable.
Most other cities in America would be lucky to have an economy as strong as NYC’s.
Tricia Shimamura is one of the finest public sector leaders I've ever worked with. And an incredible human being to boot.
This is spectacular news for parks in NYC.

Levine: “How remarkable is it that on these steps today, we have three swearings in — one by a leader using a Quran, one by a leader using a Christian Bible, and one by a leader using a Chumash or Hebrew Bible.”
Levine also said Bruchim Ha’baim (welcome) in Hebrew.
.@ZohranKMamdani will celebrate his inauguration alongside @JumaaneWilliams and @MarkLevineNYC at City Hall on Jan. 1, 2026, with a ceremony starting at 1 PM -

Spoke with @MarkLevineNYC about Jewish New Yorkers' "deliberate show of defiance" celebrating the first night of Hanukkah yesterday, and his expectations for the next administration when it comes to fighting antisemitism.

There is a massive contradiction at the heart of housing in NYC:
Everyone says they want more affordable housing. But when we propose an actual project at a specific location it's often opposed.
This is happening now in uptown Manhattan, on 145th St. and Amsterdam Ave. 🧵
I want YOUR ideas on how the Comptroller’s office can help make NYC a more affordable, safer, fairer, more prosperous city for all. https://t.co/4SivJ6WD2H
Thrilled to announce our transition committee! This is a diverse, experienced team reflective of the best this city has to offer.
But these 70+ voices are just a start - see link in comments to submit a resume or share your ideas with us.

The biggest vote getter in New York on Tuesday turned out to be @MarkLevineNYC, who will be the new city comptroller — though he did not have any kind of competitive race once he won his primary. Most votes for any NY candidate since Robert F. Wagner was reelected mayor in 1957
Congratulations on your big win last night, @MarkLevineNYC!
Honored to transition the @NYCComptroller’s office to your leadership over the next two months.
As I’ve known since we first met 30 years ago when you were founding @NTF_CreditUnion, New Yorkers are lucky to have you as our fiscal steward for the years ahead.
