00:00First, I want to announce my first Deputy Mayor, Dean Fulahan, except that I know for

00:13many he will require no introduction.

00:16I am grateful to him for returning to public service, and I know he has chosen to do so

00:22because he believes in our administration's ability to deliver universal childcare, making

00:27the slowest buses in America fast and free, and freezing the rent for more than 2 million

00:31rent-stabilized tenants in this city.

00:36Dean has been an incredibly influential leader and manager in New York City government and

00:42state government for almost five decades.

00:46No one is better versed in how city government functions, how it engages productively with

00:51leadership in Albany, or has a deeper understanding of how to achieve positive outcomes from even

00:56the most challenging of situations.

01:00I also want to announce my incoming Chief of Staff, the unparalleled El Bisgard Church.

01:12Few have played a more central role in this movement, or in every victory we achieved together

01:18in the Assembly, than El.

01:20She became my Assembly Chief of Staff nearly five years ago to the day, worked closely with

01:25me to win hundreds of millions of dollars in relief for taxi drivers, and served as the

01:30campaign manager for our historic primary campaign.

01:35Anyone who knows El knows her as someone unapologetically committed to the cause of improving the lives

01:40of working people.

01:41A million people said last week that they want more from City Hall, that they expect better

01:55from their leaders.

01:57They said loudly and clearly, it is not asking too much that New York be a place people can

02:01afford to live.

02:04The mayor-elect has received a democratic mandate.

02:07We take seriously the responsibility of this mandate, and all that it will take to run the

02:12city well.

02:13We will work relentlessly to make good on our campaign promises.

02:18During my tenure, I promise that this administration will be open-minded, strategically oriented, and

02:24pragmatically focused.

02:26We will be open to new ideas, because we know the old ones aren't working.

02:32It is my pleasure and honor to welcome the Mamdani Administration's first Deputy Mayor,

02:38Dean Fulahan.

02:46I come from an immigrant family.

02:48My father, an immigrant from Lebanon.

02:51My mother, whose parents immigrated from Lebanon, and her first language Arabic.

02:56They struggled, and succeeded, and instilled in my brothers and me a deep sense of public

03:03service, and a commitment to providing others that same opportunity.

03:10The same is true of my wife's parents, who both immigrated from Korea.

03:15The mayor-elect has provided that same hope in every message throughout the campaign.

03:23I am one of the many that was deeply inspired by that message of hope.

03:29I firmly believe in this agenda, and I am proud to join a team that will be devoted to

03:35this agenda and will work every day to make it happen.

03:38A specific thing that you have dealt with is a Trump administration, and I wonder if…

03:51The truth is I am 5'11", and it's true that I am shorter than one of the previous mayors.

03:56I am going to create a new City Hall.

04:04It is a City Hall that will look to experts in the work of government, experts such as our

04:14soon-to-be first Deputy Mayor, but it is not a City Hall that looks to any previous administration

04:19as a model that we will take on word for word, step for step.

04:22We are making our own, and we are lucky in that there are many who have come before us

04:26who have shown us both the ways in which we can succeed and the pitfalls that await those

04:31who look to do so, and I am excited to build on that.

04:37Thank you all.
