From the piece:
"So the biggest lesson in Mamdani’s race is that—regardless of your political party or ideology—if you want candidates who come from outside the system and aren’t puppets of big donors and corrupt political machines, then you should get behind the nonpartisan movement to publicly finance the elections in your community, your state, and your country."
Most everyone agrees that money in politics is a big problem. Citizens everywhere can organize to get publicly funded elections done in their city or state.
