NEW YORK CITY (PIX11) – Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has announced his transition team, which will help select his closest advisors.

Mamdani, now the mayor-elect of New York City, introduced his team Wednesday morning, including a former top aide who resigned from Mayor Eric Adams’ administration. Mamdani said to expect deputy mayor appointments in the coming days.

“We will form an administration that is in equal parts capable and compassionate, driven by integrity and willing to work just as hard as the millions of New Yorkers that call this city home,” Mamdani said.

The team is helmed by Elana Leopold, who worked on former Mayor Bill de Blasio’s team. Also on the team is Maria Torres-Springer, former first deputy mayor to Adams, who resigned amid the mayor's controversial indictment.
