FIRST ON FOX: New site exposes NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s ‘radical’ record — in his own words
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A conservative policy group is unveiling a new digital archive of democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani’s political record, aiming to highlight what it calls the New York City mayoral candidate’s “radical agenda” through years of public statements, legislation and campaign pledges.
The website, mamdanifile.appdc.org, was first shared with Fox News Digital ahead of its planned public release later this week. Developed by the American Principles Project (APP), the archive includes 43 entries spanning 2020 to 2025.
APP President Terry Schilling told Fox News Digital the goal is to document Mamdani’s record in his own words.
“Zohran Mamdani’s daily barrage of wild ideas, utterly detached from regular Americans, prompted us to launch the Mamdani Tracker to expose his madness,” Schilling said. “His radicalism may get covered up by the complicit left-wing media, but we’re reminding New Yorkers before Election Day of the chaos he’s plotting for NYC — and warning America: This is the Democrats’ agenda at your door. Mamdani’s vision is the Democrat agenda.

“If they take New York, they’re coming for you next. In tight races in New Jersey and Virginia, where they’re pushing Mamdani’s extremism into schools and communities, we’re investing millions to halt this insanity and drive commonsense voters to the polls.”
Each entry cites a primary source, such as a campaign statement, bill text or archived video clip with links allowing users to verify context for themselves.
Among the site’s entries are Mamdani’s 2020 campaign pledge to guarantee “queer- and trans-inclusive medical care to all — including children — through a single-payer system” and his call to mandate curriculum reviews in K–12 schools to eliminate “transphobia, racism and xenophobia.”
“We need to fully decriminalize both the buying and selling of consensual sex,” an essay on Mamdani’s archived campaign site titled “Feminism for All” states.

The archive also highlights legislation Mamdani co-sponsored that would let inmates choose facilities based on gender identity and fund gender-transition procedures for prisoners. It also includes a 2025 quote for the Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club Candidate Questionnaire in which he said he would be “proud to host and fund Drag Story Hours.”
Each page features video clips, screenshots and original documents, giving the compilation a digital “paper trail” effect that APP says allows voters to see and hear Mamdani directly.

The release comes as Mamdani debated Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa in a televised forum Thursday evening.
A Fox News Poll also released Thursday found Mamdani maintaining a double-digit lead over both challengers.
The American Principles Project says it plans to expand the site before Election Day as part of a broader push in local contests across New York, New Jersey and Virginia, where cultural policy and parental rights have become defining issues.
Mamdani’s campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — With Republican Erin Stewart suspending her campaign for Connecticut governor on the eve of the party convention, state Sen. Ryan Fazio is now the favorite to win the Republican endorsement.
Up until Thursday morning, Fazio was locked in a head-to-head match-up with Stewart, who had long been considered the favorite to win the Republican endorsement at Saturday’s convention.
With Stewart’s exit, the 36-year-old now stands as one of two remaining Republican candidates. Stewart has thrown her support behind Fazio, perhaps best known for his crusades against Connecticut’s high energy costs, a move that could help consolidate support among party delegates.
Fazio first spoke with News 8’s Chief Political Correspondent Mike Cerulli on Thursday.
“Listen, I expect to fight on this campaign all the way through,” Fazio said. “I don’t expect anything; I’m entitled to nothing. I need to earn everything as a candidate, and our campaign has that exact attitude. So, we’re gonna work extraordinarily hard every single day to win the support, to earn the support of every single Republican delegate, every single Republican primary voter, and every single voter irrespective of their background or their party affiliation in November. This is too important not to.”
The other remaining Republican candidate is 77-year-old Betsy McCaughey, the cable TV host and former New York lieutenant governor. Can she secure 15% of the delegates this Saturday and automatically trigger a primary?
“I’ve been calling Erin Stewart’s delegates all day, and in fact, I want to call Erin Stewart, expressing my concern and saying I wish her and her family well,” McCaughey told News 8’s Chief Political Anchor Dennis House. “This is a difficult time. And then I’ve called many of Erin Stewart’s delegates, and I’m sure I’ll reach all of them and meet with them tomorrow. And I’m asking, please join me in launching the Connecticut comeback.”
Stay with News 8 on air and online all day Saturday as we bring the vote count and let you know if we are heading for a primary showdown in August.

SEARSPORT, Maine (WABI) – A new Searsport business sees other people’s trash as an opportunity.
Maine Trash Kings got its start at the beginning of April, and with spring cleaning underway, the founders say the business is booming.
“It’s been really good, we started at the beginning of this month, and we just started posting around on Facebook ads and word of mouth. It’s gone really good, just kind of blown up from there,” Alex Dakin, co-founder of Maine Trash Kings, said.
Maine Trash Kings is run by two Searsport High School students. They both say they’ve had to learn how to balance time quickly.
“When we don’t have jobs or something like that, after schools, I get an hour, two hours to myself, but then, I got to post ads. I got to, look at finances, go over that, fix the trailer, work on the trailer and stuff like that,” Isaac Traves, co-founder of Maine Trash Kings, said.
“It can be stressful at times, but you just got to look at the bigger picture and know that all the work you’re putting in now is just going to pay off in the future,” Dakin said.
Traves said he wants to go to college for business in the future. The junior in high school said the business has given him a head start on finances.
“Sometimes there are instances where we have to spend money to make money, and it is scary at first. Some people think oh, I’m going to spend money, that means that I’m going to lose all of that. I’m not going to make that money back. No, it’s not really how it works. You have to spend money to make money, to be honest,” Traves said.
Traves and Dakin’s work hasn’t gone unnoticed. Derek Ginn is a teacher at Searsport Middle School. Ginn said the boys came to him and asked if he could help them get the business started.
“It’s really great to see kids who, 16, 17, starting life not knowing exactly what they want to do, to see, hey, maybe I want to start a business. Let me see if I can fail. Let me see if I can succeed. Let’s see what’s out there,” Ginn said. “These guys did that all on their own. I’m not saying, you guys should go start this business. You guys should go start this business. No, they came to me and are like, hey, how do I do this? And that’s incredible to see for kids their age.”
Ginn said the boys also help him with his students. They serve as mentors to the younger students in the school. Ginn said that’s how he got to know Traves and Dakin.
The young business owners said they are giving the business everything they’ve got. So far, they say they love the work.
“I like working and I actually quit my job to do this full-time now, so I mean, just putting all my effort into this and seeing it grow is just, I love it,” Dakin said.
Maine Trash Kings serves Searsport and surrounding areas.

Trauma foam developed by Massachusetts company used to stop internal bleeding in first patient
A Waltham, Massachusetts, company began to develop a trauma foam to stop internal bleeding; years later, it saved an Alabama man’s life.
Ronald Farms remembers his car flipping upside down and then a white light in what can only be described as a near-death experience.
“There was this light that was so bright. It was literally a light from heaven. It was white, so bright, but it wasn’t blinding,” Farms said.
But when the 34-year-old regained consciousness, he was on his way to the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital (UAB) and suffering from severe abdominal bleeding.
“They told me I had a laceration to my kidney, a laceration to my liver. My spleen was completely ruptured. They had to remove that. Part of my colon was taken out,” Farms said.
When he got to the hospital, Farms says the trauma surgeon, Dr. Preston Hewgley, told his family that he had 20 minutes to live.
Within minutes, Hewgley decided to use a tool that had never before been administered in a patient, a futuristic foam to stop internal bleeding.
“There was a very intense moment of injecting the foam into Ronald’s abdomen that was palpable,” Hewgley told WBZ-TV.
UAB is the site of an FDA-approved clinical trial for ResQFoam, developed by Waltham biotechnology company Arsenal Medical. It is administered by cutting a small incision below the patient’s belly button and inserting what looks like a calking gun into the abdomen, then shooting foam, which expands inside the body cavity.
“It wraps around injured tissues and injured organs and puts pressure on them, which temporarily slows or stops hemorrhage,” said Dr. David King, a trauma surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital.
ResQFoam is the brainchild of King, who knows how deadly internal bleeding can be. He is a Colonel in the Army Reserve and has performed surgeries in combat.
“Intra-abdominal hemorrhage remains a leading preventable cause of death on the battlefield,” King said, “From the combat surgeon standpoint, it remains a very exciting horizon.”
The successful administration of the foam in Farms is a giant step forward for Arsenal Medical, but President and CEO Upma Sharma is cautiously optimistic with a clinical trial ongoing.
“We have a first safety cohort that we need to get through to demonstrate that the foam isn’t doing anything totally unexpected,” Sharma said.
Ronald Farms credits the foam with saving his life and he believes there is a higher reason why he is now sharing its story.
“I would highly, highly endorse it because it saved my life,” Farms said.
