Mamdani's Win Spurs Boca Raton to Attract New Yorkers

Boca Raton officials are actively encouraging New Yorkers and their businesses to relocate after Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, won the New York City mayoral race.

Boca Raton's Invitation to New Yorkers

Mayor Scott Singer and other city leaders have been pushing for New Yorkers to consider Boca Raton as their new home, especially following Mamdani’s victory. They see an opportunity to attract people looking for a change in political and business climate.

Election Outcome

Zohran Mamdani, at 34, secured a decisive win as the Democratic nominee, defeating his closest rival, former Governor Cuomo, who ran as an independent after losing in the Democratic primary.

Mamdani will make history as New York City's first Muslim mayor and first Asian American mayor. His campaign, marked by internal Democratic disputes, centered on ambitious policies and his critiques of Israel and the NYPD.

Boca Raton’s Response

Following the election, Mayor Singer intensified efforts to attract companies and residents. On social media and various shows, he encouraged relocation to Boca Raton.

"Expected to be a busy day. Many companies have already made the move. If you’re thinking about it now, we can help!" — Scott Singer on X (formerly Twitter)

Singer also appeared on The Benny Johnson Show, a conservative political commentary program, where he emphasized Boca Raton’s pro-business environment.

"Come to Florida. We’re here to celebrate and propel business, not overregulate it and defeat it." — Scott Singer
Summary

Boca Raton is leveraging Mamdani’s New York City win to attract residents and companies seeking a more business-friendly environment under Mayor Singer’s leadership.
