New Hampshire governor recruits NYC business owners fleeing Mamdani 'regime'

By Fox News · Fox News

A large van covered in rotating digital posters circled Midtown Manhattan last week after democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani won a dramatic New York City mayoral election. New Hampshire Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte's re-election campaign sent a van covered with ads reading: "NYC business owners: Mamdani got you down? Come on up to New Hampshire for no Communism, less red tape, and less taxes," and various phrases encouraging New Yorkers to head north. "New Hampshire has a lot to offer anyone who is looking to leave NYC ahead of the Mamdani regime," Ayotte told Fox News Digital. "We are the safest state in the nation, the best for economic opportunity, and we have some of the lowest taxes anywhere. Whether you own a business or just want to keep more of your hard-earned money — come on up to the Granite State. We’d love to have you!" Mamdani, who has pledged to raise taxes in order to fund his vision of free buses and free child care, was elected mayor of New York City Tuesday.

His tax hike proposals have reportedly discouraged individuals from moving to the city and are pushing some New Yorkers to flee the five boroughs altogether. Fox News Digital’s Kristen Altus spoke with developer Isaac Toledano, the CEO of Miami-based BH Group , who said his company has closed more than $100 million in signed contracts, which is twice as much as the previous year, from New York buyers in just the past few months.
