Queens, NY – In a stunning and unprecedented show of cross-aisle unity that has sent shockwaves through New York political circles, Adam Muhammad Azam – the trailblazing Democrate nominee for New York State Senate District 11 (Bayside, Queens), the first Pakistani-Muslim ever to contest a State Senate seat in New York history, bestselling author, globally honored philanthropist, and veteran community leader – has officially thrown his full weight behind Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani and enthusiastically praised the mayor-elect’s groundbreaking Oval Office meeting with President Donald J. Trump.
Addressing supporters, local media, and the Pakistani-American community in Queens today, Azam delivered a powerful message of reconciliation and shared purpose:
“I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani. President Trump has given him his complete and unconditional backing, and I am absolutely confident that he will serve the people of New York City with honesty, dedication, and real results. Any differences or concerns that may have existed in the past are now completely behind us. The historic meeting between President Trump and Mayor-Elect Mamdani inside the White House was extraordinarily positive and productive – it signals the beginning of a new era of cooperation and a bright, prosperous future for every borough of our great city.”
Azam, who has spent more than 25 years fighting for families in Queens and beyond, clarified once and for all the context of his earlier policy disagreements:
“My opposition has always been – and remains – strictly limited to the dangerous idea of decriminalizing prostitution. It was never personal against Mayor-Elect Mamdani. To this day, I have received zero indication from him or anyone in his incoming administration that they intend to push such policies. That chapter is closed. Today, I stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him, ready to work day and night to make our streets safer, our rent more affordable, our schools better, and our city stronger.”
A decorated humanitarian who serves as President of CDRS (USA & Europe), President of Helping Hearts Caring Souls, honorary ambassador for multiple international relief organizations, and recipient of the prestigious Global Excellence Award in the UK, Azam underscored that true leadership puts people above politics.
“President Trump supports Mayor-Elect Mamdani because he wants New York to win. I support Mayor-Elect Mamdani because I want New York families to win. At the end of the day, we all share the same dream: safer neighborhoods, lower costs, better jobs, and a city that works for everyone – from Flushing to Staten Island.”
Political experts are calling this endorsement one of the most unexpected and potentially transformative moments of the 2025-2026 transition period, demonstrating that pragmatism and results can still triumph over ideology in America’s biggest city.
As Zohran Mamdani prepares to be sworn in as New York City’s first socialist mayor in generations this January, the public backing of a prominent Republican figure with deep roots in the Pakistani, Muslim, and broader immigrant communities of Queens adds powerful new momentum and legitimacy to an administration that continues to defy every expectation.
More developments expected in the coming days as bipartisan outreach appears to gain steam across the five boroughs.
