Zohran Mamdani announces all-female transition team as he prepares for New York mayoralty
The Guardian ^ | Wed 5 Nov 2025 | Joseph Gedeon

Zohran Mamdani’s incoming administration began taking shape on Wednesday as the New York City mayor-elect announced a transition team to help enact what he called the city’s most ambitious policy platform in a generation, vowing to get right to work when he takes office on 1 January.

Speaking at a morning press conference in Queens, the 34-year-old democratic socialist revealed an all-female transition team led by Elana Leopold as executive director. It also includes co-chairs Maria Torres-Springer, the former first deputy mayor; Lina Khan, the former federal trade commission chair; the United Way’s president and CEO, Grace Bonilla; and the former deputy mayor for health and human services Melanie Hartzog.

“In the coming months, I and my team will build a city hall capable of delivering on the promises of this campaign,” Mamdani told reporters. “We will form an administration that is equal parts capable and compassionate, driven by integrity and willing to work just as hard as the millions of New Yorkers who call this city home.”

The selection of Khan, who gained national prominence for her aggressive antitrust enforcement at the FTC under Joe Biden and is admired by both progressives and populist Republicans, signals Mamdani’s intention to bring bold reformers into his administration as he prepares to lead the nation’s largest city.

In his first television interview since defeating Andrew Cuomo, the former governor, and Republican Curtis Sliwa on Tuesday night, Mamdani stressed the urgency of preparation. “We owe it to this city to be ready on 1 January to start delivering,” he said on Wednesday. “We have 57 days and those are 57 days to start to do the work of preparing.”

So he is sexist.

To be fair, he sees nothing wrong with discriminating. He said that he's not an American. So at least he's being consistent.

“May you live in interesting times”. A subtle synonym for FA and FO.

That won’t please the hardcore Mahometans, even if they are Muslimas.

DEI.

It’s comforting that his choices aren’t merit-based. They’ll be less effective.

Raise the voting age for females to 100 and this country would forever remain a Capitalist Republic!

I brought this up this morning. He has no staff that can follow his orders. Soros, Obama, Brennan, Jarrett, and Jeffries, are assigning his staff members going "Forward"" in the long March.

A thirty something never employed Marxist brat raised by wealthy family, is not a leader of people. When your kids in "freedaycare" have cute little vests in their cubby, your opinions won't matter.
