Zohran Mamdani, New York City’s mayor-elect, tapped Leila Bozorg, a longtime public official and development advocate, and Julie Su, who served as acting secretary of labor in the Biden administration.
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced on Friday the appointments of Julie Su, left, and Leila Bozorg, center, at a garage on Staten Island that will be converted into affordable housing.
As Zohran Mamdani prepares to take over as mayor of New York, his team and allies have been pushing back against proposals that could make it more difficult to build new homes in the city.
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani promised to build 200,000 new affordable homes over the next decade as part of the housing plan he released during his campaign.
