New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani wants voters to know he’s in the race against former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo “for the right reasons.”
The Democratic socialist and state assemblyman, 33, running to be the next Mayor of New York released an ad Wednesday, Aug. 1 that spoofed ABC’s rosy reality dating “Bachelor” franchise. In the ad, Mamdani says a long soliloquy – as leads often do on the series – before picking up a rose and raising it up to the camera.
“You deserve better. You deserve to be able to raise your family here. To be safe. To travel where you need to, free of cost and worry,” Mamdani said. “You deserve someone who works as hard as you do. Who thinks about you — every second of the day. That’s the kind of mayor I promise to be.”
