Mayor Mamdani Look-Alike Contest | Charlotte News

A Mayor Zohran Mamdani look-alike contest erupted near Washington Square Park, drawing hundreds who battled for the crown—and a $100 prize—in tribute to the city’s popular, working-class-focused mayor. Winner Amadeo Fusca nailed the vibe with a Knicks jersey under his suit, while contestants went full Mamdani: haircuts, suits, even a shirtless apron homage to a viral rap video. The event, organized by app Sonder, was shut down by cops for lacking permits—but that didn’t stop the crowd from voting via applause. It’s not the first time Mamdani’s cultural footprint has sparked fan events, proving his influence extends far beyond politics.
