Some have been surprised by my conciliatory post to Mamdani. Mamdani won a decisive election. He is going to be our mayor for the next four years. I care enormously about New York City which has been very good to me and my family since we emigrated to NYC in the 1890s. (And for the record I have been a NYC resident since 1988 despite Sliwa’s statement to the contrary. I was born in NYC and grew up in Chappaqua and returned to NYC when I graduated from college.) While I did not support Mamdani for mayor and have concerns about the unintended and negative consequences of his policies, I want to do everything I can to help NYC regardless of who are mayor is.

Should say ‘our’
