Mayor Adams Appoints Four New Deputy Mayors Following Resignations
The appointments come after allegations of a deal to dismiss Adams' corruption case led to a wave of resignations among his top aides.
- Mayor Eric Adams has named Adolfo Carrión Jr., Suzanne Miles-Gustave, Jeffrey Roth, and Kaz Daughtry to key deputy mayor roles in New York City.
- These appointments follow the resignation of four top deputies, who stepped down citing concerns over Adams' alleged agreement with the Trump administration to drop his corruption charges.
- The mayor has yet to fill the critical position of first deputy mayor, which oversees daily city operations and was previously held by Maria Torres-Springer.
- Adams faces mounting pressure, including calls for his resignation from within his own party, as he denies allegations of campaign finance fraud and other charges.
- The new appointments come as Adams prepares for a challenging re-election campaign, with multiple high-profile candidates entering the race.
