Former First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan, a de Blasio administration alum, will return to City Hall under Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, who also appointed longtime aide Elle Bisgaard-Church as his incoming chief of staff.
A veteran of both city and state government dating back to the 1970s, Dean Fuleihan served as Bill de Blasio’s right-hand man in City Hall from 2018 through 2021, with duties that included advising the then-mayor on managing the NYPD, the Department of Education, and the Department of Investigation.
