"Leila Bozorg, the city's current executive director for housing and a key proponent of Adams' signature housing achievement the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity, will take on the role of deputy mayor for housing and planning. Former U.S. Secretary of Labor Julie Su will take on the newly created role of deputy mayor for economic justice. Leila Borzog will carry out our commitment to build more housing, protect tenants, and tackle this crisis head-on, said Mamdani in a statement."
"The North Star of our work will be the rights and dignity of New York City's workers, Su said in a statement. The working New Yorkers who keep this city that never sleeps alive and beating deserve dignity, respect, and the protections of the law, and I am excited to deliver bold solutions that strengthen worker and consumer protections and make our city a place where everyone can thrive."
Zohran Mamdani appointed Leila Bozorg as deputy mayor for housing and planning and Julie Su as deputy mayor for economic justice. Bozorg currently serves as the city's executive director for housing and championed the City of Yes for Housing Opportunity initiative. Su served two years as acting U.S. labor secretary and implemented the American Rescue Plan's Special Financial Assistance program while joining bargaining tables to negotiate major contracts for Boeing workers, U.S. Maritime Alliance longshoremen, and other unions and employers. The administration intends to expand housing, protect tenants, promote fair wages, strengthen worker and consumer protections, and make the city more affordable.
