Candidates need to market themselves like Mamdani

More young people were influenced by podcasts than rallies.

Watching Mamdani market himself is a great lesson in how to mobilize people and win. If he ran an add agency, it would be best in the world - he is that good at marketing. In my younger days , I worked at a NYC ad agency so I’m not an innocent when it comes to marketing. The fact that he is speaking about Gaza is also refreshing as a candidate.

I’m lucky to live in a blue state with GREAT reps who voted against sending bombs to a genocide. Love my reps Martin Heinrich & Ben Ray Lujan for their moral clarity.

“Scavenger hunt day is also canvassing day (because that’s every day).”
