List of Mamdani promises, so we can check them off.....


Promise
Description
Free Buses
Make all city buses fare-free to improve public transit access and reduce costs for riders, building on a 2023 pilot program that showed positive results.
Rent Freeze
Freeze rents for the approximately 2 million New Yorkers in rent-stabilized apartments, with support funds available for landlords needing assistance, to prevent displacement amid median household incomes of $60,000.
Universal Childcare
Provide free childcare for all children aged 6 weeks to 5 years, making it accessible regardless of income to support working families.
City-Owned Grocery Stores
Launch one municipal grocery store in each of the five boroughs (with potential expansion), aimed at offering affordable food options in underserved areas.
Minimum Wage Increase
Raise the city's minimum wage by 2030 to better align with the cost of living and support low-income workers.
Department of Community Safety
Create a new city agency focused on non-police responses to public safety, emphasizing prevention, mental health, and community-led initiatives rather than expanding NYPD headcount.
Tax Reforms for Affordability
Increase taxes on large corporations and the wealthiest 1% to fund broader affordability measures, including the above programs, while avoiding cuts to essential services.
Relentless Improvement for Working People
Overall vision to enhance safety, affordability, and participation for all residents, including protections against federal overreach (e.g., "Trump-proofing" NYC) and expanding social welfare programs
