Op-Ed | Meet us Mayor Mamdani: The case for opening primaries to NYC independent voters

The op-ed criticizes Mayor Mamdani's stance on New York City's closed primary system, arguing that 1.2 million independent voters—disproportionately people of color, Gen Z, and millennials—are excluded from public elections they fund. It calls for open primaries, citing examples like Washington, D.C., and urging the mayor to engage with independent voters.
