Odd Lots: What NYC's Most Powerful CEOs Think About Zohran Mamdani

When socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic party's nomination for NYC mayor, top business leaders experienced a bout of hysteria. That's according to Kathy Wylde, the president and CEO of the non-profit organization the Partnership for New York City. Founded in 1979, the organization assembles the CEOs of some of the biggest employers in New York City in order to work on city issues. Wylde herself is often characterized as one of the ultimate NYC power brokers. In fact, she's been actively facilitating phone calls and meetings between Mamdani and the CEOs (most of whom backed Cuomo in the primary) who are anxious about what a socialist mayor would mean for the city. We talked to her about what they're most concerned about, what they want to see from Mamdani (if he wins), what could push businesses and people to move out of the city, and what they think about him after they talk.

The Mamdani Millionaires Supporting the Socialist for NYC Mayor

In early September, Kathy Wylde, one of New York's undisputed power brokers, met with Zohran Mamdani, then one of the longest of long-shot candidates in the New York City mayor's race. In a coffee shop on the ground floor of 85 Broad St. in lower Manhattan, once Goldman Sachs's headquarters, the democratic socialist made the case that while he would be focused on income inequality, he was also open to working with the city's business elite.
