• The Strokes held a concert fundraiser for NYC mayoral candidate Maya Wiley Saturday night.

• Comedian John Mulaney, who recently went to rehab, also opened for the show.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and NYC mayoral candidate Maya Wiley were seen dancing at a Strokes concert in New York City Saturday night.

Videos posted to TikTok and Twitter show the pair enjoying the show from the mezzanine, waving to concertgoers below.

The concert was a fundraiser for Wiley, with all proceeds going towards the civil rights attorney's mayoral campaign, according to NME. Wiley recently shot up to the second position in the polls, behind Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, after receiving AOC's endorsement last week, according to PIX 11.

AOC was one of the openers of the show, along with comedian John Mulaney, who is making his return to comedy after a spell in rehab for alcohol and cocaine addiction this past winter.

The Strokes concert was the first indoor full capacity concert of its size in New York City since the pandemic happened, according to NME. Attendees were required to provide a negative COVID test in order to attend.

It was also the The Strokes' first in-person concert since the pandemic, NME reported. The Strokes previously held a virtual event for Wiley.

Frontman Julian Casablancas said in a statement before the show that Wiley is "absolutely the best choice to be NYC's next mayor," according to NME.

He added: "She is the only leading candidate without a PAC (political action committee), so it's a privilege to use art to support a non-corporate candidate fighting against difficult odds. She is a benevolent warrior; at City Hall, she got the cop who killed Eric Garner fired. We need to elect trustworthy people so when hard decisions need to be made behind closed doors, we know the people of NYC will be protected and in the best hands possible."

In response, Wiley said she was "so thankful for The Strokes for their support for my campaign and my vision for this city and for their commitment to making this event happen safely and successfully," according to NME.
