Zohran Mamdani pledged millions to trans health care if elected NYC mayor. He just won a key victory.

Some say the results prove supporting trans people may just be a winning strategy

Mamdani’s win may also indicate strong public support for transgender rights and shows that it is not politically dangerous for Democrats to stand by the trans community. If elected, Mamdani has pledged to spend $57 million on medical centers that provide gender-affirming care and $8 million more to develop new and broader resources. He attended a Trans Day of Visibility rally in March and a trans community town hall in May.

“New York City must be a refuge for LGBTQIA+ people, but private institutions in our own city have already started capitulating to Trumpʼs assault on trans rights,” he added. “Meanwhile, the cost of living crisis confronting working-class people across the city hits the LGBTQIA+ community particularly hard, with higher rates of unemployment and homelessness than the rest of the city.”

Mamdani – who is heavily focused on making the city more affordable – also vowed his administration would expand and protect gender-affirming care, make the city an LGBTQ+ sanctuary city, and create an Office of LGBTQIA+ affairs.
