US EditionMamdani Names a New Campaign Manager as Part of Staff Expansion
NEW YORK CITY, JUL 25 – Mamdani appoints Maya Handa as campaign manager and adds key staff to unify progressive and mainstream support ahead of November election, aiming to plan a future city administration.
- Zohran Mamdani, who secured the Democratic Party’s nomination for New York City mayor, announced on Friday that Maya Handa will take over as his campaign manager as he also expands his campaign team.
- Mamdani made these changes after a surprise primary win and as he seeks to consolidate support for the November general election amid opponents like Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams running independently.
- Handa, who previously managed state senator Zellnor Myrie’s unsuccessful mayoral primary bid and has experience working with progressive leaders like Jamaal Bowman and Elizabeth Warren, will take the lead in the general election campaign alongside Afua Atta-Mensah, who will act as senior political director, and Deandra Khan, who will oversee labor relations and intergovernmental matters.
- Elle Bisgaard-Church, who previously managed Mamdani's campaign, expressed deep satisfaction with the groundbreaking nature of their primary race and will transition to the role of chief adviser to focus on strategic planning and policy development.
- These staffing updates reflect Mamdani's effort to unify progressive and mainstream factions, plan a potential administration, and strengthen his position against a crowded general election field.
