Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer spoke with Fox News Digital about the potential implications of a socialist mayor in New York City, specifically Zohran Mamdani, who is currently running for the position. Singer expressed concerns that Mamdani’s policies could lead to a significant departure of businesses from the state, citing the potential for increased regulations and higher taxes as the main reasons.
The mayor emphasized that cities like Boca Raton, which have already positioned themselves as favorable business locations, could see an increase in companies looking to relocate. Singer noted that Florida’s environment is more accommodating to business needs compared to what might be expected from a potential socialist administration in New York.
Singer’s comments come as part of a broader discussion about the potential impact of different political ideologies on economic policies. While he hasn’t made any direct threats of a business exodus, his statements indicate that the city is prepared for such a scenario if Mamdani’s political platform gains traction.
