Mamdani's Victory in New York Spurs Boca Raton's Outreach to New Yorkers
Following Zohran Mamdani's win as New York City's mayor, Boca Raton officials intensified efforts to attract New Yorkers and their businesses to relocate to their city.
Push to Attract New Yorkers
Boca Raton officials, led by Mayor Scott Singer, communicated widely to encourage New Yorkers to consider moving to their city, especially after Mamdani's decisive victory. They presented Boca Raton as a welcoming destination for people and businesses seeking new opportunities.
Zohran Mamdani’s Historic Win
- Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, defeated his closest rival decisively. Former Governor Cuomo ran as an independent after losing the Democratic primary to Mamdani.
- At 34, Mamdani will be both the first Muslim mayor and the first Asian American mayor of New York City, the largest city in the nation.
- His campaign was marked by internal Democratic conflicts over his ambitious policies and past criticisms of Israel and the NYPD.
Boca Raton's Response
After Mamdani's victory, Mayor Singer actively promoted Boca Raton as a business-friendly city that welcomes newcomers.
"Expected to be a busy day. Many companies have already made the move. If you’re thinking about it now, we can help!" — Scott Singer, posted on X (formerly Twitter) the day following Mamdani’s win.
Media Appearances
Singer appeared on The Benny Johnson Show, a conservative political commentary program hosted by right-wing influencer Benny Johnson, urging people to relocate:
"Come to Florida. We’re here to celebrate and propel business, not overregulate it and defeat it."
Boca Raton presents itself as an attractive alternative for those dissatisfied with New York’s political direction under Mamdani’s leadership.
