On Jan 1, 2026, only hours after his inauguration, Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed the first two executive orders of his administration, setting the foundation for how his team will govern and operate.
The first executive order revokes all executive orders issued on or after September 26, 2024, ensuring a fresh start for the incoming administration and reissues executive orders that the administration feels are central to delivering continued service, excellence, and value-driven leadership.
The second executive order establishes the structure and operations of the new administration, including five Deputy Mayors:
- First Deputy Mayor
- Deputy Mayor of Housing and Planning
- Deputy Mayor of Economic Justice
- Deputy Mayor of Operations
- Deputy Mayor of Health and Human Services
The order also formalizes key leadership positions including Chief of Staff and Chief Counsel to the Mayor and City Hall and outlines the continued operation of several Offices under the Mayor’s Office.
To these positions, Mayor Mamdani has appointed Dean Fuleihan, Leila Bozorg, Julia Su, Julia Kerson, and Helen Arteaga respectively.
To continue with these efforts, Mayor Zohran Mamdani Held Press Conference at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue on Sunday January 4th, 2026 to Make An Announcement Appointing New Commissioner or the Department of Housing Preservation & Development. Watch here.
