Mayor Eric Adams announced the appointment of Maria Torres-Springer as the new first deputy mayor of NYC, succeeding Sheena Wright. Torres-Springer brings extensive experience and will also oversee housing and economic development.
Wright's recent departure marks a significant change in Adams' administration, as she is the seventh senior official to leave among a backdrop of multiple investigations, including an indictment involving Adams.
The city has faced a wave of turnover in leadership roles, with Wright's exit being noted as part of broader leadership challenges in the current administration, highlighting the pressures on Mayor Adams.
Adams reaffirmed Torres-Springer’s dual role, emphasizing the need for strategic direction amid ongoing challenges, and committed to continuing the 'City of Yes' initiative for housing and economic development.
