Mamdani Proposes Reforms

Zohran Mamdani, a leading Democratic candidate for New York City mayor, proposes universal childcare, free buses, and a rent freeze for stabilized units.
Funding would come from a 11.5% corporate tax increase and a 2% tax on high earners, potentially generating $9 billion annually.
He aims to triple the production of rent-stabilized homes, costing $100 billion over ten years.
He also proposes city-operated grocery stores to curb rising food costs.

She proposed raising taxes on corporate home-buying to fund priorities.
Hill faces strong competition from Attorney General Aaron Ford.
