Mayor Zohran Mamdani celebrates 100 days in office

Mayor Zohran Mamdani rallied Sunday to celebrate 100 days in office , touting his early accomplishments and charting future goals as he pledged to lead with a relentless focus on the city's working class. 

In front of a crowd just days after reaching an early milestone of his first term, Mamdani said he took office promising “that City Hall would hold a singular purpose, to make this city belong to more of its people than it did the day before.”

“For 102 days, we have endeavored to do exactly that,” he said. After



highlighting the early accomplishments of his administration, he then turned to a few new plans. 

The first, he said, would be to inch toward one of his major campaign promises: opening a slate of city-run grocery stores. The initial store, he said, would open next year, with the remaining shops — eventually one in each of the city's five boroughs — opening by the end of his four-year term.

“At our stores, eggs will be cheaper. Bread will be cheaper. Grocery shopping will no longer be an unsolvable equation,” said Mamdani, a Democrat.
