New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani wrapped up a three-day trip to Puerto Rico, attending the influential SOMOS conference where New York’s top politicians, lobbyists, and labor leaders gathered for workshops and strategy sessions in San Juan. Mamdani met with union allies from both New York and Puerto Rico, highlighting recent labor victories and reaffirming his commitment to an ambitious affordability agenda for working-class New Yorkers. Fresh off a stunning mayoral win, Mamdani used the summit to stress “coexistence” with the Democratic establishment while pledging to keep City Hall focused on the material needs of ordinary people, affordable housing, and stronger worker protections.
