ZOHRAN MAMDANI, THE mayor-elect of New York City, moved quickly on Wednesday to try to reassure New Yorkers that he was prepared to lead, rolling out a team of City Hall veterans that he said would guide his transition into office.
Mamdani, 34,has laid out an agenda that would be ambitious for any mayor to deliver, including promises to make buses free, expand government-funded child care and jump-start housing development.
But as the youngest person to win the office in more than a century and a democratic socialist, Mamdani is certain to face even more intense scrutiny than his predecessors as he picks the team that will help run a city with a $115 billion budget and 300,000 municipal employees.
Mamdani tapped four women as co-chairs of his transition, three of whom have worked for his predecessors. The choices signaled that he was interested in a broad range of experience in New York and Washington.
