Jamie Torres-Springer, a senior MTA official and the husband of one of Zohran Mamdani’s transition team heads, is under consideration to become the incoming mayor’s top operations deputy at City Hall, the Daily News has learned.
Torres-Springer is currently the president of construction and development at the MTA , a role he has served in since 2021 and in which he’s tasked with overseeing the Transportation Authority’s sprawling capital budget.
Sources with knowledge of the matter told The News this week that Mamdani’s team is looking into poaching Torres-Springer from the MTA to make him the deputy mayor for operations, one of the most powerful posts in City Hall with oversight of key agencies like the Departments of Transportation, Buildings, Parks and Environmental Protection.
