LOWER MANHATTAN (WABC) — With just a few weeks until he takes the reigns, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is continuing to build out his team.<\/p>\n
Mamdani would not say which specific appointments were discussed on Friday, but it has been almost a month since he has announced an appointment to his administration.<\/p>\n
He says that is partly why the elected advisory committee met at District Council 37 headquarters in Lower Manhattan.<\/p>\n
Among those on the committee and in the room on Friday were State Attorney General Letitia James and City Comptroller Brad Lander – all elected officials who endorsed or supported Mamdani.<\/p>\n
Afterwards, Mamdani spoke briefly with reporters and touted his effort to listen to different points of view as he builds his administration.<\/p>\n
He was then asked why he would only include supporters.<\/p>\n
“This is just one part of the work that we are doing with elected officials across this city. It is by no means exhaustive. Today was a bringing together of those that helped us build this coalition from the very beginning,” said Mamdani.<\/p>\n
