New York, NY – Last night, Zohran Kwame Mamdani won a historic election to be the 111th mayor of New York City. LiveOn NY issued the following statement:

“We congratulate Mayor-Elect Mamdani on his decisive victory following a moving campaign which spoke to anxieties all older New Yorkers face – that the city they helped build is becoming more and more unaffordable,” said Allison Nickerson, Executive Director of LiveOn NY. “In many ways, his aims are the same as ours: to make housing, nutrition and community affordable for older New Yorkers. We’re excited to work with his administration to ensure that New Yorkers can age in dignity.”

LiveOn NY’s Age Strong campaign is continuing its advocacy for New Yorkers at the state and city level, calling for bold investments in affordable housing, food and nutrition, and community infrastructure to allow New Yorkers to age in dignity.
