The New York State Republican Party has launched a campaign aimed at opposing Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic candidate for New York City Mayor. The initiative, titled “Stop Zohran,” includes the formation of a Coalition of Common Sense and a dedicated webpage at https://nygop.org/stop-zohran that outlines concerns about Mamdani’s policy positions.
Party Chairman Ed Cox said, “Zohran Mamdani represents everything that’s wrong with today’s Democratic Party: socialist economics, anti-police extremism, and divisive rhetoric that threatens the fabric of our city. His openly socialist agenda would devastate New York’s economy, compromise public safety and drive more families and businesses out of our city. The Coalition of Common Sense brings together New Yorkers from all backgrounds who believe in safe streets, strong schools, economic opportunity and basic decency – values that Mamdani’s candidacy directly threatens.”
The new webpage details statements attributed to Mamdani such as his support for seizing the means of production, his description of capitalism as theft, and his commitment to defund the NYPD. The site also points to what it calls anti-Israel extremism by highlighting Mamdani’s support for the BDS movement and refusal to condemn certain controversial slogans.
Cox added: “The Coalition of Common Sense welcomes New Yorkers from all political backgrounds who share concerns about Mamdani’s extreme agenda and its potential impact on public safety, economic prosperity and community cohesion in New York City.”
