New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's first 100 days | Live updates

After Dan Goldman announced his bid for reelection in New York's 10th congressional district, Mayor Mamdani reiterated his support for his challenger, Brad Lander.

Lander, the former comptroller and mayoral candidate, has criticized Goldman over his staunch support of Israel.

"I am proud to support our former comptroller Brad Lander for congress, I am proud to support him because of his honestly, his sincerity, and the vision he has shared with New Yorkers at both the City Council district and a City Council level, time and time again," Mamdani said. "And in a moment New Yorkers, especially working class New Yorkers are asking themselves, who will stand up for them in a moment as difficult as this one, I know that the answer is Brad Lander as the next congressman for that district."

Mayor Mamdani was on hand as the NYPD announced Tuesday that 2025 was the safest year in the nation's largest city when it comes to gun violence.

New York finished the year with 305 murders, 77 fewer than the prior year.

There were fewer shootings and fewer shooting victims than in any year in recorded city history.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani was joined by Attorney General Letitia James on Monday as he signed two executive orders: to combat businesses' deceptive use of junk fees and crackdown on subscription tricks and traps that that drain money from New Yorkers and make essential goods and services less affordable.

"New Yorkers deserve to know exactly what they are paying, how much it will cost, and whether they are signing up for an ongoing charge - before a single dollar leaves their account. Instead, too many people are hit with hidden fees and blindsided by subscription traps they never knowingly agreed to and cannot easily escape," Mamdani said. "In the midst of an affordability crisis that is already pushing working New Yorkers out of their city, these deceptive practices put even more strain on household budgets. This executive order restores what should have always been the case: transparency in pricing, accountability for companies, and full compliance with the law."

The executive order aims to establish a citywide junk fee task force, combat hidden junk fees and enforce compliance with city law.

Another executive order aims to fight subscription tricks and traps.

It will, among other things, empower the city to use the full tools and authorities of the office to crack down on illegal subscription practices.

Mayor Mamdani clarified on Monday that New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch reports directly to him.

An executive order issued last week was interpreted as saying she would be supervised by his first deputy mayor.

"My police commissioner will continue to report directly to me," he said at an unrelated press conference Monday. "My police commissioner, just like my schools chancellor, will report directly to me. The executive order is in terms of the question of coordination. This is reporting...continues to be directly to me."

Talking about the executive order, he said, "this is about the daily minutiae of coordination, not about the question of reporting."
