Why hasn’t Zohran Mamdani taken a position on the ballot proposals?

Zohran Mamdani's Position on Ballot Proposals

Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has been evasive about his stance on the ballot proposals.

At the second mayoral debate, he stated:

I'm appreciative that those measures will be on the ballot and that New Yorkers will be able to cast their votes for them.

Despite being pressed for a clearer position, Mamdani has continued to decline, drawing criticism from his opponents Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa.

He has stated that he intends to announce his position soon.

The City Council's potential loss of power if the proposals pass may be a factor in Mamdani's hesitation, highlighting their current influence.
