Inside Mamdani aide’s private budget briefing for the DSA

Sherif Soliman, mayor Zohran Mamdani’s budget chief, privately briefed the Democratic Socialists of America on New York City’s finances, raising ethical concerns. The meeting, tied to the DSA’s Tax the Rich Campaign, included a membership drive and details about deficit-plugging measures. City ethics laws prohibit using public resources for non-city purposes, prompting scrutiny over Soliman’s participation.
