RANK YOUR BALLOT

The NYS Tenant Bloc has endorsed Zohran Mamdani as our #1 rank, and Brad Lander for #2. We also recommend filling out all five slots on your ballot and leaving Andrew Cuomo off your ballot entirely.

Zohran Mamdani called for a four-year rent freeze on day one of his campaign and is running to tackle the skyrocketing costs that are squeezing New Yorkers. Zohran has earned the Number #1 spot on our ballots.

Brad Lander is a long-time ally to NYC tenants who fought alongside us to win tenant protections and take on private equity landlords. As City Comptroller, he took a look at the data and confirmed that with landlord profits up and tenants struggling to get by, a rent freeze is needed. Rank him #2 on your ballot.

Seven candidates for Mayor have supported our call to Freeze the Rent – while others are pocketing big checks from wealthy real estate donors who are driving up rents and neglecting repairs. 

Who has supported a rent freeze?

  • Zohran Mamdani, Brad Lander, Adrienne Adams, Zellnor Myrie, Jessica Ramos, Michael Blake, and Scott Stringer have expressed support for a rent freeze. 

As Governor, Andrew Cuomo repeatedly blocked tenant protections and cut homelessness programs while rewarding his real estate donors with massive tax breaks. Read more about how Governor Cuomo created today’s housing crisis here
