New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has named more than 400 people to 17 transition committees tasked with shaping his incoming administration and guiding key policy decisions ahead of his January 1 inauguration.

The committees span a wide range of priorities—including housing, transportation, public safety, economic development, immigrant justice, technology and government operations—and will advise on appointments as well as policy challenges. Mamdani is also creating two new committees, focused on worker justice and community organizing, marking a break from traditional mayoral transitions.

The transition team brings together a broad array of voices, from homeless outreach workers and union leaders to real estate executives and community organizers. Mamdani said the goal is to draw perspectives from across political and economic lines.

“New Yorkers have placed a great deal of hope and expectation in this new course,” Mamdani said. “City Hall must deliver real, material change for working people across all five boroughs.”

Since his election, the transition effort has received more than 70,000 résumés from New Yorkers seeking roles in the new administration.

Worker Justice Committee chair Bhairavi Desai of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance said the effort reflects a commitment to elevating labor concerns. “In a city powered by tourism and service industries, working-class people—largely immigrants and people of color—deserve dignity and respect,” she said.

The announcement comes days after Mamdani’s closely watched White House meeting with President Donald Trump. The two appeared cordial as they shook hands and said they found common ground on affordability and public safety, despite months of public clashes during the campaign.

Mamdani said Sunday that the Oval Office meeting was “productive,” adding that he emphasized the NYPD—not federal forces—should be responsible for maintaining safety in the city. Trump, asked Saturday whether he would deploy federal troops to New York, said “other places need it more.”

Mamdani said he made clear that his administration intends to deliver safety and affordability with local leadership: “The NYPD will be the ones to do so.”
