Port Charlotte, Fla.: In a June 17 article in the New York Post, George Arzt, NYC Mayor Ed Koch’s former press secretary said, “I don’t think Zohran is prepared for the mayoralty. He’s young and totally lacks credentials for the job.” Zohran Mamdani’s credentials are actually impeccable for today’s Democratic Party.

If the party placed an ad in the classifieds for an NYC mayoral candidate, it would look something like this: “Are you a former rapper who believes in free bus service, free child care, rent freezes, city-run grocery stores and higher taxes on the rich? Have you lived on your own for a whole 10 years and been a naturalized citizen for a full seven years? Do you believe the Israeli prime minister should be arrested? Would you like to raise the minimum wage to $30 per hour? Do you enjoy screaming at ICE agents? Do you have zero formal education in macroeconomics? Have you been endorsed by Bernie Sanders? If the answer is “yes” to any of these, we have the job for you.”

Mamdani has the perfect credentials to run as a Democratic mayoral candidate in NYC and leads the “where’s my free stuff?” movement. But why stop with free child care and busing? Why not free everything? We all need to drive to work — why not free cars or free homes?

The world of socialism sounds wonderful up to the day you find out your lazy coworker makes the same as you. With his credentials, Mamdani could have a bright future in Venezuela. Ben Furleigh

Brooklyn: Re “Rabbis: Zoh ‘dangerous’ ” (Oct. 24): What exactly are the rabbis afraid of in attacking Mamdani? After all, he’s running for mayor, not president. Thus, he has very little to no effect on foreign policy. Do they think he’ll prevent them from buying lox at Zabar’s? Herman Kolender
