Amidst a tumultuous administration entangled in corruption allegations, Mayor Eric Adams has appointed four new deputy mayors to help restore confidence in his leadership. The new appointees include Adolfo Carrion Jr. for housing and economic development, Suzanne Miles-Gustave for health and human services, Jeffrey Roth for operations, and Kaz Daughtry for public safety. Their predecessors resigned following a controversial corruption case linked to the Trump administration. The mayor expressed his gratitude for the new deputy mayors' extensive experience, highlighting their roles in navigating the city's challenges ahead.
'These exemplary public servants have decades of experience serving our city and their fellow New Yorkers, and I thank them for their willingness to step up and serve at such a critical time,' Adams said.
The appointment of deputy mayors followed the resignation of four others amidst corruption allegations involving the Trump administration's influence on Adams' administration.
Adams stated in a video that he has a list of successes in office, coinciding with the introduction of the new deputy mayors.
While Carrion Jr. has been named for housing and economic development, the position of first deputy mayor remains unfilled as Adams considers his options.
