"Former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan -whose regulatory moves angered many corporate leaders - has been named as one of the co-chairs of Mamdani's transition team. "What we saw last night was New Yorkers not just electing a new mayor, but clearly rejecting a politics where outsized corporate power and money too often end up dictating our politics," Khan said in a speech on Wednesday."
"Khan herself has encouraged young lawyers to direct their minds toward antitrust as a way to fight on the average person's behalf. On the other hand, Khan has also been taken to task for alleged managerial dysfunction and bringing weak cases while she was at the FTC. That said, the good thing about teamwork is that it allows for team efforts - other big names like Elana Leopold, Melanie Hartzog, Maria Torres-Springer, and Grace Bonilla will be there"
Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral race despite questions about his limited prior work experience. Lina Khan, former FTC chair known for aggressive antitrust stances that angered corporate leaders, has been named a co-chair of the transition team. Khan framed the victory as a rejection of outsized corporate power and encouraged young lawyers to pursue antitrust work for the public good. Khan has also faced criticism for alleged managerial dysfunction and weak cases at the FTC. Other experienced figures including Elana Leopold, Melanie Hartzog, Maria Torres-Springer, and Grace Bonilla will join the transition to balance strengths.
