Mayor Zohran Mamdani has moved swiftly to reshape City Hall, issuing an executive order that revokes all directives signed by former Mayor Eric Adams after September 26, 2024 — the date of Adams’s indictment.

Mamdani framed the move as a defense of working-class New Yorkers, though he did not provide specific examples of policies affected.

That seems to be the case.

Mamdani noted he will issue a new executive order to retain the Office to Combat Antisemitism, which Adams had established through his own directive. The office was created to coordinate city efforts against antisemitic incidents and promote community safety.

I like this approach. It is adding legitimacy back to the government. At no point in the future will anyone question the legitimacy executive orders that Mamdani resubmits because of Adam’s past criminal indictments.

It feels good to see a politician who actually shows attention to detail and cares about the people they’re supposed to represent. That’s definitely not the norm.
