Mayor Zohran Mamdani is standing by his top political adviser, Morris Katz, who is facing widespread criticism for his role in Democrat Graham Platner’s scandal-ridden campaign for U.S. Senate in Maine.
“ I will continue to work with Morris Katz. He remains a top advisor of mine,” Mamdani said Monday.
Mamdani’s declaration comes after The Intercept reported that members of the Democratic Socialists of America were circulating a letter calling on the mayor to cut ties with Katz and his political consulting firm, The Fight Agency, because of his role on Platner’s campaign leadership team.
Platner, an oyster farmer and combat veteran, suspended his Senate bid on Friday, four days after Politico reported that he allegedly raped a woman he once dated. Platner has denied the woman’s account.
