""My life's work has been about ensuring that money and power cannot trample the rights and dignity of working people. I look forward to continuing that fight on behalf of New Yorkers," Levine said at an introductory presser on Monday.

Levine will pursue a "relentlessly pro-worker" agenda with authority over the delivery app industry and its implications for street safety.

Levine pledged to defend workers' rights and challenged companies such as Instacart and DoorDash for profiting at workers' expense.
