Zohran Mamdani’s tax policies could be good for business — in Florida.

A top corporate trade group in the Sunshine State is trying to woo New York City CEOs uneasy about mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani’s democratic socialist policies.

The Florida Council of 100 penned an open letter to Big Apple business titans declaring “uncertainty is the enemy of sound decision-making” after Mamdani won a Democratic Party primary campaigning on hiking corporate taxes.

“When a city’s economic direction grows unpredictable, when the rules of engagement shift, and when free enterprise becomes a political target, CEOs must reevaluate where their companies can grow and prosper,” the council wrote in its letter.
