Zohran Mamdani Gains Union Backing Amid Scrutiny of Education History
Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani secured the support of the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) in his bid for mayor of New York City. The union, which represents around 200,000 teachers and education professionals, cast a vote in his favor on Tuesday. UFT President Michael Mulgrew characterized the growing wealth disparity in the city as a “crisis” and advocated for Mamdani as the right choice for advancing educational priorities.
“Donald Trump seems to disregard our city’s educational strengths,” Mamdani remarked on Wednesday.
