New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has made history by appointing an all-female transition team as he prepares to become the city's first Muslim mayor, first of South Asian heritage, and youngest in over a century. The 34-year-old Democratic socialist has assembled a team of accomplished women, including former FTC chair Lina Khan, to implement his progressive agenda featuring rent freezes, free bus service, and universal childcare. Mamdani aims to create an administration that balances capability with compassion while addressing longstanding urban challenges with innovative solutions.
