adminNew Yorkers woke up to a clear choice this November and the consequences are already being felt across the country. Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York mayoral race has alarmed business leaders and conservative mayors alike, and Boca Raton’s Republican chief executive wasted no time saying Florida’s doors are open to anyone fed up with high taxes and soft-on-crime policies.
Mayor Scott Singer put a patriotic, no-nonsense pitch on the table: come to a city that values public safety, low taxes, and efficient government instead of virtue signaling and bureaucratic experiments. Singer told Newsmax that Boca Raton has deliberately kept taxes low, funded police generously, and streamlined regulations to attract businesses and families who want to work, raise kids, and enjoy secure streets.
The reason for the scramble is real and predictable — Mamdani’s platform leans on aggressive tax hikes, radical spending schemes, and proposals that would weaken police capacity, and Wall Street is already whispering about an exodus. Financial and real-estate leaders fear the predictable result of these policies: higher taxes, heavier regulation, and fewer headquarters and jobs in the city that once led the free market world.
This isn’t abstract rhetoric; Singer says the phones are ringing. He recounted brokers calling about company relocations the morning after the Democratic primary, and the city even ran recruitment messaging as far away as Times Square to make clear Boca Raton is open for business. Those are not empty boasts — migration data and local reports have shown Florida steadily gaining residents fleeing high-tax, high-crime jurisdictions, and conservative leaders are seizing the moment.
Conservative leadership means offering a real alternative when liberal cities choose policies that punish success and reward dependency, and that is exactly what Singer and others are doing. He’s even teaming up with national groups to build a mayors council to promote common-sense governance and defend the America First principles that make cities safe and prosperous. If blue-city solutions are to be exported, red-state mayors will be standing by to receive those who still believe in work, family, and civic order.
Hardworking Americans should pay attention: this moment is a test of whether local leaders will protect taxpayers and businesses or bow to radical experiments that destroy livelihoods. Boca Raton’s message is straightforward and bold — choose freedom, safety, and opportunity, or face the consequences of electing people who believe government should run your life. The free market and common-sense governance will always be a refuge for those who want to build a future, and conservatives should be proud to offer it.
