New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani appoints Dean Fuleihan, a seasoned budget official with over four decades of government service, as his first deputy mayor. Fuleihans extensive experience, including roles as former Mayor Bill de Blasios budget director and deputy mayor, is expected to provide institutional weight and help navigate concerns about the financial feasibility of Mamdanis proposed policies. Mamdani also appointed Elle Bisgaard-Church as his City Hall chief of staff, indicating a blend of fresh perspectives and experienced leadership as he prepares to take office next year.
