市长此次露面标志着在其任期内首次确认他为纽约以外的国会候选人助选。
The mayor’s appearance marked the first confirmed time during his tenure he’s stumped for a congressional candidate in a race outside New York.
纽约——市长佐赫兰·马姆达尼的支持者本周早些时候为密歇根州参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德举办了一场高额筹款活动——市长本人也出席了。
NEW YORK — Supporters of Mayor Zohran Mamdani hosted a high-dollar fundraiser for Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed earlier this week — and the mayor himself made an appearance.
市长出席是他首次被公开知晓为2026年竞选纽约以外国会候选人亲自站台。他们与重要捐赠人闭门聚会之际，马姆达尼和埃尔-赛义德都面临压力，需要在各自政治基本盘之外建立信任，包括在犹太选民中。
The mayor’s attendance marked the first known time he’s stumped in person for a 2026 congressional candidate running outside New York. Their gathering behind closed doors with big donors also came as both Mamdani and El-Sayed face pressure to build trust beyond their political bases, including among Jewish voters.
这场周一举行的私人活动细节此前未被报道，地点位于曼哈顿富裕的上西区，之后这位民主党参议院候选人的竞选团队又在曼哈顿市中心举办了一场规模更大、公开宣布的筹款活动。
The private Monday event, the specifics of which haven’t been previously reported, was held on Manhattan’s tony Upper West Side before the Democratic Senate candidate’s campaign threw a larger, publicly announced fundraiser in downtown Manhattan.
根据POLITICO获得的一份邀请函，要参加这场私人活动，与会者必须向埃尔-赛义德的竞选活动捐赠至少3500美元，但被鼓励捐出法定最高限额57800美元。当天晚些时候的公开筹款活动则要求与会者至少捐款250美元。
To attend the private affair, attendees had to donate at least $3,500 to El-Sayed’s campaign, but were encouraged to give as much as $57,800, the legal maximum, according to an invitation obtained by POLITICO. For the public fundraiser later in the day, attendees were asked to give a minimum of $250.
