New York City is about to go through one of the most transformative times in its history.

Mamdani, who identifies as a socialist Democrat, takes the lead in America’s largest city on January 1st. Will it bring prosperity or catastrophe?

77WABC will ask these questions and more during a live press conference on Monday, November 17, at 11am, in Studio 77, the iconic radio station’s state-of-the-art audio/video facility. Participants in this riveting and revealing discussion include some of New York City’s most respected political and business leaders, including billionaire businessman John Catsimatidis, former Governor David Paterson, political activist Fernando Mateo, President of the Partnership for NYC Kathryn Wylde, and more on what they foresee for the next four years and beyond. 

77WABC on-air personality and former City Hall reporter Dominic Carter will host the discussion.

“Our goal is to present all sides and let the public decide,” stated Catsimatidis, owner of 77WABC. “People are concerned, and we will explore all the topics that are on New Yorker’s minds. We’ve gathered a diverse group of leaders to share their predictions for the future of the city we all love.”
