I created and run the 38,000 strong MicromobilityNYC community, including organizing many of the marches for congestion pricing in NYC. We're doing culture shift and movement building.

My favorite Zohran moment of this campaign. And why, more generally, he won:
Literally half the days in next month in NYC are gridlock alert days. We will do nothing to deter traffic though, because Gov. Hochul decided it was more important to pander to suburban Car Karens when implementing congestion pricing.

In the early days of Zohran's campaign he advised us to put together a plan for what advocates wanted. This is what I ended up showing him:

It's time to return the streets of NYC to residents, prioritizing urban appropriate transportation methods.

31st Ave is a "bike boulevard," and cars are supposed to be rare guests. It fails at one section

Zohran Mamdani won a historic victory yesterday in New York City's mayoral election, and 17 of our 18 endorsees won their races up and down the ballot, proving once again that safer streets and better public transit aren't just good policy – they're good politics! www.streetspac.org/2025_general...

This is my main take away from this election. Urbanism and Micromobility are a main consistency in NYC now. We've fully burst through to the mainstream and can deliver for candidates, like we did for Zohran. Politicians and the media might want to take note
The Times parsed the vote using similar categories and again found that the single most determinative factor economic-like factor in the election was "commute by transit" vs "commute by car." It edged out renters vs. homeowners. There's still outstanding data but I expect these trends will hold.

Democrats better hope Zohran wins this one, otherwise it's going to depress turnout for a whole generation. If the left can't even win after a historic campaign of this magnitude with this much participation and enthusiasm what is the point in even getting involved in politics in the future?
