Zohran Mamdani is now New York City’s 112th mayor.
His historic inauguration marks a pivotal moment for local politics, and if you’re already inundated with headlines, you may be missing what actually matters.
Politics Brief is our weekly newsletter for New Yorkers who want clarity, not clutter, about how their city is running.
Written by WNYC and Gothamist’s politics reporters and editors, it delivers original reporting and analysis you won’t find anywhere else. Each week, we break down what’s happening, how the latest news and policies affect New Yorkers, and what to watch next across city, state and regional politics.
Politics Brief is also a two-way conversation. Each week we ask our readers a question and give them an opportunity to share tips and flag issues in their communities.
With a new administration settling in and major policy decisions ahead, this is the moment to pay attention.
Sign up for Politics Brief and get everything you need to know as a New York voter.
