From the New York Post: Two New York City Democratic Socialists of America leaders scored plum roles on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team — as the mayor-elect Monday named a who’s who of progressive advocates and veterans of Bill de Blasio’s administration to staff its committees.
The 400 comrades tapped by Mamdani to help his transition into City Hall include the local DSA’s co-chairs Gustavo Gordillo and Grace Mausser, who recently bragged that the mayoral election’s outcome counted as a “mandate” for their shared socialist agenda.
“We’re looking to actually build a very different City Hall,” Mamdani, a DSA member, said during a press conference in East Harlem announcing his 17 transition team committees.
Gordillo will serve on the economic development and workforce development committee, while Mausser was named to the committee on small businesses and Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise.
According to Mamdani, over 70,000 people from all across New York City applied to work in his administration.
In a post on X Monday, Mamdani announced, “More than 400 New Yorkers are joining our Transition Committees—all driven by the urgency of tackling our affordability crisis.”

The NYC-DSA group celebrated when Mamdani made it into the Oval Office last week, and declared, “Dignity has always been the point. We fight for it for all – Zohran just made his debut in Trump’s White House, proudly calling himself a democratic socialist and calling attention to the ongoing genocide. We will make sure he is not the last to do so.”
