Zohran Mamdani’s win offers populist model for Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado in bid to unseat his boss

Christina Josling sees a throughline between Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado and Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani.

“They make it sound like we can have better lives in New York, whereas the others are just like, ‘This is it — take it or leave it,’” Josling said.

The Garden City woman is a disaffected Democrat who went from rallying against Trump with a local “indivisible” chapter in 2017 to seeking anyone who wants to reckon with a “broken system.”

In June, she made her third-ever state-level campaign contribution: $25 to Delgado’s insurgent, long shot campaign to unseat his boss for governor in next summer’s primary.
