“In the coming months, I and my team will build a city hall capable of delivering on the promises of this campaign,” Mamdani said at a press conference in Queens, as per The Guardian. “We will form an administration that is equal parts capable and compassionate, driven by integrity and willing to work just as hard as the millions of New Yorkers who call this city home.”

Mamdani will be the city’s first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage, the first born in Africa, and the youngest in more than a century. “We owe it to this city to be ready on January 1 to start delivering” he said. “We have 57 days and those are 57 days to start to do the work of preparing.”
