"Mamdani announced the committees and their members on Monday in Central Park's Conservatory Garden, stating that they will play a central role in preparing his administration to address the city's affordability challenges, including housing and childcare, among other pressing issues. The committees, comprising leaders from government, labor, nonprofits, academia, and business, will advise on policy development, implementation, and best practices for agencies, according to the transition team."
"The scale of the appointments coincides with what Mamdani described as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rebuild public trust and deliver for working-class New Yorkers, announcing that 70,000 people have submitted applications to work in the new administration through an open portal, with an average applicant age of 28. Too often there is a distance between the intent of what City Hall does and the impact it has, Mamdani said."
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has appointed over 400 people to 17 transition committees to advise on hiring and policy ahead of his Jan. 1 inauguration. The committees, announced in Central Park's Conservatory Garden, will focus on affordability challenges including housing and childcare and include leaders from government, labor, nonprofits, academia, and business. They will advise on policy development, implementation, and agency best practices. An open portal drew 70,000 job applicants with an average age of 28; committees will help set metrics to evaluate candidates on work rather than political connections. The appointments aim to rebuild public trust and center affected communities.
