In response to Zohran Mamdani's win, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:

"Mayor-elect Mamdani ran an impressive campaign, laser-focused on what matters most to working families in New York: lowering costs, expanding access to affordable child care, and making it easier for families to make ends meet. His campaign galvanized and energized voters across New York City and met those voters where they live. Mayor-elect Mamdani's campaign illustrated the power of a big-tent party that focuses relentlessly on lifting up all working people."
