His platform included a 1-year tax moratorium for every taxpayer with an income below $6,000, and a free pint of milk a day in school for every child. He won 4,203 votes.

2. She cares about the law as her boss cares about cutting calories.

I'm not saying that if I still lived in New York I would vote for Andrew (who seems to have self-imploded), but how does Mamdani specifically intend to implement these pie-in-the-sky proposals when he has no prior administrative or executive experience?
