Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer used Wednesday’s Wake Up America segment to do what conservatives must do in this moment: draw a bright line between the Florida values that have built prosperity and the radical vision rising in blue cities. Singer argued that his opponent on the left is closer to New York’s mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani — a self-described democratic socialist whose campaign promises have spooked taxpayers and business owners alike.
Mamdani ran on sweeping, expensive promises — from steep tax hikes to government-run grocery stores and reduced funding for traditional public safety — a platform that plainly risks chasing away jobs and residents who pay the bills. These aren’t abstract policy experiments; they are concrete incentives for productive people to pack up and head for places that protect wealth, property, and order. Americans watching this should be under no illusion: modern Democratic leadership in many cities has moved far from the party of our parents.
Singer has been blunt about Boca Raton’s open-arms pitch to New Yorkers who want to keep their paychecks and their peace: come to Florida, keep more of what you earn, and live under rule of law. The city even rolled out Times Square ads and outreach to executives and families making the very practical choice to move — a patriotic, market-driven answer to left-wing tax-and-spend experiments. That kind of economic common sense is what keeps our neighborhoods safe and our local governments solvent.
Politically, Singer’s move to tie his opponent to Mamdani is smart and necessary — Democrats can no longer hide behind old labels when their policies are now openly socialist and destructive to middle-class opportunity. As Singer prepares a broader campaign beyond Boca, he’s signaling to voters that the choice is between growth-minded Republicans who defend families and Democrats who flirt with radical agendas that punish success. Voters deserve to know which party stands with small business, police, and parents.
The so-called “Mamdani effect” is already real: brokers and civic leaders in Florida report surges of interest from nervous New Yorkers who don’t want to see their cities turn into laboratories for tax hikes and soft-on-crime policies. If liberal elites think they can keep exporting chaos while expecting conservative communities to pay the price, they’re badly mistaken — patriots and taxpayers will vote with their feet and with their ballots. This migration is a wake-up call that the left’s experiments have clear, measurable consequences.
Hardworking Floridians should be proud that leaders like Singer are standing up for prosperity, safety, and common-sense governance while blue cities chase radical dreams. This is a moment to double down on the values that built this country: limited government, personal responsibility, and respect for law and order. If conservatives show up in the same numbers they moved to Florida, we will keep the Sunshine State free and prosperous while reminding the rest of America what real leadership looks like.
