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

Posted on 11/05/2025 2:04:01 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

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.”

Hmm...if he’s a ladies man like Clinton was, maybe he’ll get himself into trouble by not keeping it zipped.

He supposedly supports the alphabet pervert mafia. That is not what a devout Muslim does, at least not publicly.

What promises were those? Finishing the destruction of NY City started by your fellow RATS and muzzie terrorists?

lets you know with that that he doesn’t care about the best for the job. Is he allowed to hire just women for the job? Some guy that was passed over should sue him.

Silly story about Zoltar's hareem.

UNMASK HIS COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE DAY HE ENTERED THE UNITED STATES.

Release it as a searchable database like Wikileaks.

Then Trump will have to place him in protective custody as the fallout taints everyone left of Manchin.

But, playing the hand dealt...

All their social media showing them without niqāb, showing them with their dogs, showing them at the beach, showing them displaying the soles of their shoes, wearing fingernail polish, showing them eating pork, showing them at their divorce party -- publish it far and wide to all of Zoltar's army, here and abroad.

Sand in the vaseline. The mudslime love sand in the vaseline...

When did she first pop up on the scene? 9/ll/01? So many nuts have crossed our paths in the past few years, you just can’t keep them all straight. Have we ever been buried with so many?
