Zohran Mamdani Announces “ALL-FEMALE Transition Team”


One day after being elected Mayor of New York City, Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani has announced his all-female “transition team.”

His mayoral transition will be led by five socialist women.

What could go wrong?

Here they are:

Backup here if needed:

The “diverse” team includes Biden’s former FTC chair and several other women who worked under Democrat politicians, like former NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio.

NBC News provided a breakdown:

Lina Khan, former Federal Trade Commission chair

Khan, who served as FTC chair under Biden, is known for going after corporate giants, specifically by enforcing antitrust laws, and for trying to lower prescription drug costs by targeting pharmacy benefit managers. On her watch, the FTC sued Amazon and Meta, alleging monopolistic and anticompetitive practices. She has made enemies with billionaires like Elon Musk, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and IAC and Expedia Group Chairman Barry Diller.

Khan resigned almost immediately after President Donald Trump took office earlier this year.

Melanie Hartzog, former New York City deputy mayor

Hartzog, who will serve as co-chair of the transition team and the team’s director, is deeply familiar with City Hall. Former Mayor Bill de Blasio appointed her deputy mayor for health and human services. Before that, she was the director of the Mayor’s Office of Management and Budget, where she oversaw the largest municipal budget in the country.

Elana Leopold, political strategist

Leopold, also a de Blasio alum, was a senior Mamdani campaign adviser and will serve as the transition team’s executive director.

Maria Torres-Springer, former first deputy mayor

Torres-Springer served as first deputy mayor in current Mayor Eric Adams’ administration before she resigned this year after he was indicted on federal bribery and campaign finance charges. (Adams denied wrongdoing, and a federal judge dismissed his case at the urging of the Justice Department.)

Like Hartzog, Torres-Springer has held several roles in municipal government, including deputy mayor for housing, economic development and workforce, and Department of Housing Preservation & Development commissioner.

Grace Bonilla, nonprofit president

Bonilla is president and CEO of United Way of New York City. She previously held several roles in the administrations of de Blasio and Michael Bloomberg.

In related news, Zohran Mamdani has grifted to begging his supporters for money — already!

Yes, the guy whose entire campaign platform was making stuff free needs you to send him money right now…

You can’t make this up.
