Overview
- Petras wrote on X that she would privately send her new album to Zohran Mamdani in exchange for banning horse-drawn carriages in Central Park.
- Her message followed an Interview Magazine conversation in which the incoming mayor named Petras among artists he listens to and praised her latest single.
- Mamdani has described carriage horses as a significant issue and said he would visit stables and convene a panel to assess the animals’ health before deciding next steps.
- PETA’s Ashley Byrne applauded Petras’ stance and urged the next administration to end what the group calls a cruel spectacle.
- Representatives for both Petras and Mamdani did not immediately comment, and Mamdani is set to take office on January 1, 2026.
