NYC CLC Endorses Zohran Mamdani for NYC Mayor

With broad and overwhelming support, the NYC CLC on Monday proudly endorsed Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani for Mayor of New York City following his victory in last week’s Democratic primary. His forward-looking campaign inspired New Yorkers, brought new voters into the democratic process, and mobilized thousands of volunteers around an agenda rooted in the strength and resiliency of working people and the fight to keep New York a place they can afford to call home.

As a coalition of more than 300 unions representing over one million workers, the NYC CLC’s endorsement carries the collective strength of the city’s Labor Movement and reaffirms our shared commitment to electing leaders who will fight alongside working people for an economy that works for everyone. Looking ahead, we are confident that as Mayor, Zohran Mamdani will lead with an open door and a willingness to listen, engaging meaningfully with our affiliate unions from every sector and placing the needs of working families above special interests.

CLC Interim President Brendan Griffith joined Assemblymember Mamdani at a Labor Unity rally on Wednesday, standing with leaders and members of affiliate unions who are also supporting his campaign. Watch video from the rally here!
