New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has named Dean Fuleihan as his first Deputy Mayor, choosing a veteran of city and state government to help lead his administration. Fuleihan, 74, earlier served as Deputy Mayor and budget director under Bill de Blasio. His long experience in Albany is expected to aid Mamdani’s ambitious plans for free child care, free buses, and city-run grocery stores. Mamdani also appointed Elle Bisgaard-Church, his campaign adviser, as Chief of Staff. The 34-year-old mayor-elect said he hopes to “create a new City Hall” by blending fresh ideas with experienced leadership. (PC: The Hindu)
