Zohran Mamdani, the Uganda-born son of renowned academic Mahmood Mamdani and filmmaker Mira Nair, now leads the race to become New York’s next mayor — and potentially its first Muslim one. A progressive voice from Astoria, Mamdani lives modestly, rides the subway, and earns $142,000 as a state legislator. His declared assets include 4 acres of land in Uganda worth $250,000, sparking transparency questions. If elected, the 33-year-old would earn $260,000 and move into Gracie Mansion. br br br #ZohranMamdani #NYCMayorRace #BreakingNews #USPolitics #NewYorkElection #MuslimMayor #ProgressivePolitics #Astoria #UgandaBorn #MiraNair #MahmoodMamdani #NYC2025 #PoliticalProfile #ForbesEstimate #AndrewCuomo #GracieMansion #TransparencyDebate #DemocraticRace #USNews #YoungLeadersbr br ~HT.318~ED.
