New Yorkers are waking up with real fear in their bones as Election Day — November 4, 2025 — closes in, and the polls show a clear front-runner in Zohran Mamdani. Multiple statewide and city polls put Mamdani well ahead of rivals, which should alarm every resident who values safety and order in our streets. Voters deserve to know exactly what a Mamdani administration would mean for public safety before they cast their ballots.
Crime has surged to the top of voter concerns in neighborhoods across the five boroughs, and it’s no surprise people are jittery about giving a mandate to a candidate who talks more about social experiments than enforcement. City dwellers tell pollsters they want streets where children can play and small businesses can thrive without fearing theft and violence. When downtown Manhattan and outer-borough neighborhoods are on edge, the city needs leadership that prioritizes law and order, not lectures about root causes.
Mamdani’s campaign rhetoric and public-safety proposals emphasize social programs and a new “Department of Community Safety” that treats crime like a public-health problem rather than a law-enforcement issue. Independent fact-checkers have noted his platform focuses on diversion and social services, even as opponents warn this approach risks letting serious offenders roam the streets unchecked. New Yorkers deserve clarity — soft-on-crime policies dressed up as “prevention” are no substitute for accountability.
Liberty-loving citizens should also be alarmed by Mamdani’s long-standing ties to the Democratic Socialists of America, an organization that has endorsed controversial ideas like ending misdemeanor charges — a policy that would hamstring prosecutors and tie police hands. Snopes and other outlets have pointed out distinctions between Mamdani’s personal platform and the DSA’s broader agenda, but the overlap in philosophy should be enough to give pause to anyone who thinks public safety isn’t negotiable. We cannot let ideological purity tests determine whether violent crime is punished.
Adding fuel to the fire, Mamdani was recently photographed with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a controversial figure linked by federal prosecutors years ago to the 1993 World Trade Center conspiracy list, prompting bipartisan backlash and condemnation from survivors. That photo-op was tone-deaf at best and reckless at worst — a mayor must unite a city, not appear cozy with men who have troubling histories. Voters have a right to ask why a prospective mayor would seek optics that alienate victims and stoke fear.
The Republican and independent wings are scrambling to stop a Mamdani victory, with GOP heavyweights pressing Curtis Sliwa to step aside and throw support to Andrew Cuomo to consolidate the anti-Mamdani vote. This isn’t just political theater; it’s an urgent recognition that a divided opposition hands the city to the left’s experimenters. Conservatives and independents who care about safe streets and fiscal sanity should think hard about strategic voting to prevent a one-party rush into untested policies.
Hardworking New Yorkers are not naïve — they want compassion for the vulnerable and second chances for the redeemable, but they also want police empowered to stop violent crime and prosecutors able to hold predators accountable. As conservatives, we stand for both safety and opportunity, and that means electing leaders who protect citizens first, then invest wisely in prevention. If you love your city, get informed, vote on November 4, and don’t let ideological zealots experiment with New York’s future at the expense of its families.
