Rule Changes

Led the commission that drafted the five ballot proposals

New York City voters approved all five charter amendments on the Nov. 3 ballot, with support ranging from 61.6% to 72.3%. Staten Island was the only borough to reject all five. The measures give Mayor Zohran Mamdani a first-year win and change how the city approves outdoor dining, street projects, property deals and construction permits.
