Morris Akiba Katz (born May 18, 1999) is an American political strategist known for working for the campaign for Zohran Mamdani in the 2025 New York City mayoral election. He was deputy media consultant for John Fetterman's 2022 Senate election campaign, and later worked for Dan Osborn's campaign in the 2024 Senate election in Nebraska. He is a close adviser of Mamdani and Graham Platner.[1][2]


He didn't just work on Fetterman's.
