Dear New Yorkers: Consider Moving To Dallas, TX<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The rise of socialist New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has highlighted a fundamental truth that I learned as a former Democratic elected official: the Democratic Party never learns.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Sure, Democrats occasionally pay lip service to law and order and economic opportunity. But before I announced two years ago that I was officially renouncing my Democratic ties and becoming the only Republican mayor to lead a top 10 American city, I saw over and over again that when given the choice between effective, common-sense growth-focused governance or the fever dreams of radicals \u2013 high taxes, burdensome regulations, and hostility toward law enforcement \u2013 the Democratic Party will consistently run to the left and jump off the deep end.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the end, Democrats are content to make cities unaffordable, unlivable, and untenable for businesses \u2013 driving out the very people who make cities vibrant. America\u2019s cities deserve better leadership that is grounded in public safety, fiscal responsibility, and a respect for their taxpayers.<\/p>\n

New York\u2019s Democratic primary could have been about who represents these fundamental values, and about who could bring competence to city leadership. Instead, Mamdani\u2019s nomination sends a clear message about where the modern Democratic Party intends to take our nation\u2019s largest city. The entrepreneurial spirit, hardworking families, and vibrant communities that made New York great are now cast as the villains in a never-ending story of victimhood.<\/p>\n

Just take a look at some of Mamdani\u2019s radical comments and ridiculous policy proposals. Mamdani has publicly called on \u201cdefunding\u201d and \u201cdismantling\u201d the police on numerous occasions.<\/strong> He wants to increase New York\u2019s already high taxes to the point where it will drive more businesses and job creators out. He even wants to harken back to the days of the Soviet Union and establish government-owned grocery stores.<\/p>\n

Should he be elected the next mayor, Mamdani would move New York toward failed socialist policies under which the government dictates outcomes rather than creating an environment that allows people and businesses to thrive. It\u2019s a vision of a city government you would expect from undergraduate freshmen, not from supposedly serious adults. It\u2019s insanity.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why I recently invited New Yorkers who are concerned about this trajectory to consider Dallas<\/strong>. My invitation wasn\u2019t a stunt. We\u2019ve declared ourselves as America\u2019s first \u201cSanctuary City from Socialism\u201d for a reason, and we\u2019re ready to welcome anyone who wants to be a part of it.<\/p>\n

Since I\u2019ve been in office, we\u2019ve lowered property tax rates by record amounts and embraced a \u201cBuild Baby Build\u201d approach when it comes to housing. We\u2019re empowering the private sector by slashing regulations to meet the demand for housing, reducing the median time to issue a residential building permit from 68 days to just eight days.<\/p>\n

We also prioritize public safety<\/strong>. We don\u2019t demonize law enforcement. We fund them, we thank them, and we stand with them. As a result, Dallas has now experienced a remarkable four straight years of violent crime reduction.<\/p>\n

We also understand that thriving businesses create jobs and generate tax revenue that allows us to invest in public safety, infrastructure, world-class parks, and essential services. In Dallas, we embrace innovation, entrepreneurship, and the free market as forces for good.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no coincidence that Dallas has become the top destination for corporate headquarters relocations and is emerging as America\u2019s new financial capital. We don\u2019t just talk about opportunity, we build it. Whether it\u2019s Goldman Sachs investing half a billion dollars for a landmark campus for 5,000 professionals or the Texas Stock Exchange getting ready to launch in 2026, Dallas is leading a new era of competition and innovation in American finance.<\/p>\n

Business leaders across the country are watching, and they\u2019re telling me the same thing: If New York chooses this unadulterated socialism, they\u2019re ready to bring their jobs, their talent, and their investment to Dallas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I get it: Leaving a place you love isn\u2019t an easy decision. However, I also know that a city with leadership that refuses to embrace a focus on the basics \u2013 such as keeping people safe, keeping taxes reasonable, and keeping the government focused on results \u2013 makes it harder for families and companies to stay.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a New Yorker who feels like your city is slipping away from the values that once made it great, know that you\u2019re not alone, and you have options \u2013 a concept you won\u2019t find in your new government-owned grocery store.<\/p>\n
