Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) members circulate a letter calling for candidates to cut ties with Morris Katz, a consultant associated with Graham Platner’s campaign and linked to Mayor Zohran Mamdani, according to reporting from multiple outlets. The New York Times says the letter asks candidates to sever connections with Katz, describing him as an adviser who has been elevated in relation to Platner. Separately, the New York Post reports that DSA members gather more than 500 signatures to support the call to “ice out” Katz over the Platner campaign. Both accounts frame the effort as internal political pressure within DSA, directed at candidates who are connected to Katz, rather than as a broader public policy dispute. The articles present the signatures and the letter as part of an organized campaign by DSA members, with Katz positioned as the focus of their concerns and Platner’s campaign as the context for the request. The reports do not indicate any formal outcome from the efforts, but they describe a coordinated push by DSA members to discourage or end associations with Katz.
