The New York Times: Mamdani Turns to Seasoned Officials for Transition Team
The New York Times reports on our CEO & President, Melanie Hartzog, being named to Mayor-Elect Mamdani’s transition team. She will utilize her expertise in city government and social services to help shape the new administration.
As they report:
“Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect of New York City, will turn to veterans of City Hall, nonprofit executives and a former chair of the Federal Trade Commission — all of them women — to lead his official transition effort, he said on Wednesday.
The transition will be overseen by Maria Torres-Springer, who was first deputy mayor under the current, outgoing Mayor Eric Adams; Lina Khan, a progressive former F.T.C. chair; Grace Bonilla, the head of United Way of New York City; and Melanie Hartzog, a former deputy mayor for health and human services.”
