Statement on the Results of the New York City Mayoral Election
Published on Nov 4, 2025
Our statement from Carlo A. Scissura, Esq., President and CEO of the New York Building Congress on the results of the mayoral election:
“Tonight, New Yorkers spoke up with a collective voice, electing a mayor that will set our city on a path to affordability, equity and unity.
In his meetings with the Building Congress and its members, Zohran Mamdani has proven not just his willingness, but his intention to move New York forward by prioritizing affordability hand-in-hand with prosperity, in investing in robust capital budgets across the five boroughs, and a willingness to listen to the needs of all who call our city home. Mamdani clearly understands that what we build spearheads these efforts — from equitable transit to affordable housing to resilient infrastructure that advances and safeguards our city.
The Building Congress is proud to step up in support of these goals, and we can’t wait to stand alongside Mayor-elect Mamdani at his first groundbreaking as the Mayor of the greatest city on Earth, building a better future for all New Yorkers!” — Carlo A. Scissura, Esq., President and CEO of the New York Building Congress
