Part 10/12:
A voter expressed unconditional support, stating simply, "I voted for Mdami", without a clear stance on whether socialism would work in NYC. This underscores a desire among some constituents for bold, disruptive leadership, regardless of ideological labels.

Mdami appreciated the gesture but refrained from requesting endorsement, emphasizing instead his connection to local voters.
