Nassau County Launches Campaign to Attract Residents Fleeing NYC Under Mamdani

📍Nassau County officials unveiled a marketing campaign Friday aimed at attracting New York City residents and businesses concerned about Mayor-elect 👤Zohran Mamdani’s incoming socialist policies.

According to the New York Post, County Executive 🏛️Bruce Blakeman highlighted the county’s schools, safe streets, beaches, museums, and rising property values, while criticizing Mamdani’s agenda as “very, very troubling.”

“Basically, every community has a large group of people who are really concerned. I had someone call me up yesterday and ask me if I could recommend a real estate broker. They asked about the schools, ‘which are the best schools?’” Blakeman said at a press conference inside the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building.

“They’ve asked me about various communities — a lot of people from Brooklyn, a lot of people from Queens, a lot of people from the Bronx, and most importantly, a lot of people from Manhattan.”

Blakeman, a former Hempstead town councilman considering a run for governor, said the campaign will target not just New York City and the surrounding tri-state area, but eventually the entire United States.
