Fordham Law School professor Zephyr Teachout and the Manhattan Institute’s John Ketcham debate the resolution, “Mayor Zohran Mamdani is likely to fulfill his campaign pledge to make New York City more affordable for most residents.”
Taking the affirmative is Teachout, an attorney and professor of law at Fordham Law School. She is the author of two books, Break ‘Em Up: Recovering Our Freedom from Big Ag, Big Tech, and Big Money and Corruption in America: From Benjamin Franklin’s Snuff Box to Citizens United. She’s also formerly served as special adviser and senior counsel for economic justice at the New York Attorney General’s Office.
Arguing the negative is Ketcham, a legal policy fellow and director of Cities at the Manhattan Institute. He’s also a contributing editor to City Journal, where he’s closely followed Mamdani’s governance.
The debate is moderated by Soho Forum Director Gene Epstein.
