Zohran Mamdani, and other top New York City<\/a> officials could see their salaries jump under a proposed 16% pay hike that council members are hoping to push through soon, according to reports.<\/p>\n

A bill introduced by Councilwoman Nantasha Williams (D-Queens) would raise members\u2019 salaries from $148,500 to $172,500, the New York Post<\/a> reported Tuesday.<\/p>\n

If passed, the pay hike would also apply to the new mayor, public advocate, comptroller, and borough presidents.<\/p>\n

It would put Mamdani\u2019s pay at nearly $300,000, up from the current $258,000, the outlet said.<\/p>\n

Other top officials, such as the comptroller, public advocate, and borough presidents, would see comparable increases.<\/p>\n

The legislation<\/a> would be introduced this week with a hearing by year\u2019s end, allowing the next City Council to vote in January for a swifter approval. The last raise for Council members occurred in 2016.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, it was Mamdani who built out a platform centered on affordability for working-class New Yorkers.<\/p>\n

The Ugandan-born 34-year-old pledged free buses<\/a>, rent freezes on rent-stabilized apartments, universal childcare, and city-run grocery stores during his campaign for New York City mayor.<\/p>\n

He also campaigned on a gradual increase of the minimum wage to $30 an hour by 2030.<\/p>\n

Mamdani has said these proposals would be funded primarily by raising taxes on wealthy individuals and large corporations.<\/p>\n

As a state assembly member in 2022, Mamdani also voted for a pay raise for state legislators.<\/p>\n

The latest NYC pay hike plans were originally set to go to Mayor Eric Adams\u2019 desk, but that schedule was shelved, according to the Post.<\/p>\n

“If we have a hearing on the bill this year, we don\u2019t need a hearing on it next year. It\u2019s pre-considered,” Williams told The Post.<\/p>\n

When the outlet asked her if the council would pass the pay hike bill in January, Williams responded, “That\u2019s the goal.”<\/p>\n

A source also said that the pay hike legislation puts Mamdani in a predicament: he could veto the bill or approve a law “making New York more affordable for the political class,” they said.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to Zohran Mamdani for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
