Council Member Won, husband Eugene Noh denounce ‘sexist’ scrutiny after he joins Adams campaign

Council Member Julie Won and her husband, Eugene Noh, are denouncing what they call “sexist” and “misogynistic” scrutiny of their relationship following Noh’s appointment as campaign manager for Mayor Eric Adams’ re-election bid.

Noh, a longtime political strategist and consultant, was officially announced as Adams’ campaign manager in a press release on Wednesday, July 9. The appointment drew attention due to Won’s recent endorsement of Adams’ opponent, Zohran Mamdani, ahead of the Democratic primary last month, prompting a spate of media stories examining their political differences.
