Eric Adams Names Five Women As NYC Deputy Mayors
WNYC News | Dec 20, 2021
Mayor-elect Eric Adams has selected five women to be his deputy mayors, leading with Lorraine Grillo, a 20-plus-year City Hall veteran, who will become the first deputy mayor — one of the highest ranking positions in city government.
The appointments, announced Monday at Brooklyn Borough Hall, were a striking statement by the incoming mayor who has now installed a core leadership team made up of women, four of whom are women of color. Last week, Adams named Keechant Sewell as the first ever woman to lead the NYPD.
