"Mayor Zohran Mamdani pictured signing three of his first five executive orders aimed at tackling the city's housing crisis during a press conference at an apartment building in Brooklyn Photo by Michael Appleton/Mayoral Photography Office It's Thursday, Jan. 1, the first day of Zohran Mamdani's term as mayor. amNewYork is following Mamdani around his first 100 days in office as we closely track his progress on fulfilling campaign promises, appointing key leaders to government posts, and managing the city's finances."
"After a rousing, populist inauguration speech Thursday afternoon in which New York City's new mayor promised to rule audaciously for all New Yorkers while remaining true to his democratic socialist roots, Zohran Mamdani moved decisively to mark a new era in city governance. Upon officially becoming mayor at midnight, Mamdani wasted no time in appointing Mike Flynn as his Department of Transportation commissioner."
"Mamdani also revoked a series of executive orders issued by former Mayor Eric Adams after Sept. 26, 2024 the date he was federally indicted. Those revoked orders that former Mayor Adams issued include barring city officials and appointees from discriminating against Israel, which many saw as a way to Mamdani-proof city investments from any potential revocation from the new mayor, who has been highly critical of the Israeli government and previously supported the Boycott, Divest and Sanction (BDS) movement."
On Jan. 1, Zohran Mamdani began his term as mayor. He delivered a populist inauguration speech promising audacious leadership while maintaining democratic socialist principles. Immediately upon taking office he appointed Mike Flynn as Department of Transportation commissioner. He revived a mothballed tenants' rights office and named leadership for it, reorganized and formalized his leadership team's responsibilities, and created two task forces to expand housing affordability citywide. He revoked several executive orders issued by former Mayor Eric Adams after Sept. 26, 2024, including directives barring discrimination against Israel on city investments and a proposal to regulate protests near houses of worship.
