## Key points

- Mamdani has signed one bill in 10 months as New York mayor.
- His only law allows year-round outdoor dining.
- Critics contrast the record with his rapidly growing social media following.

## Summary

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has signed one bill into law during his first 10 months in office, prompting criticism that he has prioritised building his social media profile over legislating. The claim comes from unnamed City Hall insiders, who say his team devotes time to planning videos while delaying routine government meetings.

The sole bill he signed allows year-round outdoor dining on city pavements. Other measures, including required welfare checks on older residents during heatwaves and a rent-assistance programme, remain unsigned; under the “returned unsigned” process, bills can take effect if not vetoed within four weeks. By the same point in their tenures, Eric Adams had signed 30 laws, Mike Bloomberg 28 and Bill de Blasio 47. Mamdani’s Instagram following rose from fewer than 60,000 before his 2025 campaign to more than 12 million, while the mayor’s office has faced criticism over its approach to legislation.
