PSC General Election Endorsements 2025

NYC Mayor

• Zohran Mamdani: PSC is proud to endorse Zohran Mamdani for mayor in the 2025 general election after his PSC-backed Democratic primary victory. Whether he’s supporting our members by rallying for a strong contract or sponsoring legislation like the REPAIR Act and the New Deal for CUNY that would raise hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for CUNY, Assemblymember Mamdani has been an ally of PSC members, CUNY students and public higher education. PSC encourages members to vote for Zohran Mamdani for New York City Mayor on the Working Families Party ballot line.

NYC Comptroller

• Mark Levine: PSC is proud to endorse Mark Levine for New York City Comptroller. Manhattan Borough President Levine stood with members in our fight for a contract and demanded restoration of funds to CUNY that were cut during COVID. As chair of the Council’s Committee on Health during the pandemic and as Manhattan Borough President, Mark has stood for workers and public higher education.  PSC encourages our members to vote for Mark Levine for New York City Comptroller.

NYC Public Advocate

• Jumaane Williams: The PSC is proud to endorse Jumaane Williams for Public Advocate. Jumaane is an outspoken advocate for CUNY and an indefatigable voice for racial and economic justice. As a CUNY graduate himself he shares the PSC’s commitment to a fully funded City University. A graduate from Brooklyn College, Public Advocate Williams has  been a vocal advocate for PSC members, CUNY students and the CUNY community colleges. While in the council, he helped lead the campaign to end the City’s “stop and frisk” policing policy, a priority for CUNY students and the PSC. PSC encourages members to vote Jumaane Williams for New York City Public Advocate on the Working Families Party ballot line.
