Mamdani Transition: New mayor will retain four Adams administration officials overseeing health, contracts

By Adam Daly Posted on December 29, 2025

Incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced Monday he will retain four senior officials from the outgoing Adams administration, signaling continuity in key areas of public health, forensic investigations, city contracting and City Hall operations as he prepares to take office later this week.

Mamdani said he plans to renominate Dr. Mitchell Katz to continue leading NYC Health + Hospitals, the nation’s largest municipal health care system, and to reappoint Dr. Jason K. Graham as the city’s chief medical examiner. He will also keep Michael Garner as chief business diversity officer and Mir Bashar as chief administrative officer.
