UNION SQUARE, NYC – Brandon Straka, the visionary behind the viral “WALK AWAY” conservative movement, is putting down roots in New York City once more. The Nebraska native, who originally sought fame on stage, is now driven by a singular, urgent mission: to “help save” the city from what he perceives as a dangerous ideological shift.
APB News caught up with the outspoken 48-year-old leader in Union Square, moments before a rally protesting Democratic Socialism in the city. Despite a turnout of just 75 attendees at the vocal event focused on the mayoral race, Straka’s determination is unwavering.
He’s unveiled a bold, multi-pronged strategy to stem the tide of Democratic Socialism across NYC, with a laser focus on exposing and challenging the agenda of New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. Mamdani, a self-described Democratic Socialist, advocates for policies including rent freezes, government-controlled transportation, and taxpayer-funded grocery programs.
Straka informed APB News that his organization will unleash a torrent of high-energy events, rallies, and community initiatives. Their goal: to hit every borough and educate New Yorkers on the “realities and consequences” of socialist policies.
The coming weeks will reveal a critical dynamic: Will a unified candidate emerge to face off against Mamdani, or will the opposition remain splintered, facing a cohesive force? Straka is betting on the former, and he’s ready for the fight.
