Mausser found the Democratic Socialists of America and became involved in her local New York City chapter, where she met then-New York State Assembly candidate Zohran Mamdani, who has been a member of DSA since 2017.

NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani proposes billions in new spending for universal childcare and social programs, funded in part through tax increases on wealthy residents.

Zohran Mamdani, the front-runner in the New York City mayor’s race, and Letitia James, New York’s attorney general, have a kinship shaped in part by their shared opposition to the president.

Democrat Zohran Mamdani holds a double-digit lead in the race for New York City Mayor, though his advantage has slightly narrowed following Mayor Eric Adams' withdrawal, according to a Quinnipiac University New York City poll of likely voters released today.
