Julie Menin says she's ready to become a City Council speaker that seeks common ground while standing firm in principles  amNewYork
"I've already met with the mayor-elect, and we are very aligned on affordability, she said in an interview with amNewYork. I think we can work extremely well together."
"I know firsthand how effective a public servant she is, de Blasio posted on Dec. 5. She will be a great partner in the fight for universal childcare, free buses, and a city that puts working people first."
Julie Menin secured a supermajority of support from returning and incoming council members across the ideological spectrum and will become New York City Council speaker on Jan. 7. Menin emphasized her extensive record in city government and promised proactive, collaborative leadership during her campaign. A moderate Democrat representing Manhattan's Upper East Side, she will succeed term-limited Adrienne Adams and assumes the gavel a week after Mayor Zohran Mamdani takes office. Menin and the mayor-elect have met and aligned on affordability priorities. Former mayor Bill de Blasio publicly endorsed Menin and highlighted her effectiveness on issues like universal childcare and free buses.
