Urgency of Voter Registration Amid Political Turmoil in NYC

New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli says women earned 87 cents for every dollar men made in 2023, a wage gap that would require women to work 53 extra days per year to match men’s earnings. Meanwhile, Queens Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani says he’s done fundraising in the mayoral race after hitting the primary spending cap. Also, New York lawmakers are reviving a bill to require warning labels on gas stoves, citing health concerns. Plus, Tuesday is the last day for teens in Newark to register to vote in school board elections, a first under new voting rules. We hear from high school senior Zuri McCune and voting rights advocate Ryan Haygood.
