Election results: Zohran Mamdani wins NYC mayor, Mikie Sherrill wins NJ governor

Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill's Gubernatorial Transition announced the launch of a transition website, which will serve as a temporary hub for information about the transition and opportunities for state residents to get involved.

Her team says a full website, with more information, will be rolled out in the coming weeks.

The site includes a resume submission portal for people interested in serving in the Sherrill Administration.

"Our transition is focused on building an administration that reflects the best of New Jersey-its innovation, diversity, and deep commitment to public service," Sherrill said."Our transition is an invitation for talented and passionate people from across the state to step up and help us move New Jersey forward together."

After Zohran Mamdani successfully completed his historic bid for mayor of the country's largest city on Tuesday night, he was joined onstage by his wife Rama Duwaji.

In his speech, Mamdani thanked Duwaji, saying, "There is no one I would rather have by my side in this moment and in every moment."

On Jan. 1, 2026, Duwaji will become the first lady of New York City, after her husband is sworn in as the first Muslim and first South Asian mayor, as well as the city's first mayor born in Africa.

Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday morning that he believes "many people" from his administration will stay, without giving specifics.

Fire Commissioner Robert Tucker informed the mayor that he will not attempt to stay for the Mamdani administration.

He submitted his resignation Wednesday morning, effective Dec 19.

Tucker had served as fire commissioner for about a year.

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani announced his transition committee on Wednesday morning.

The transition team will be directed by Elana Leopold, from the de Blasio administration.

The co-chairs are former Deputy Mayor Maria Torres-Springer and the progressive former Biden administration Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan.

Along with Torres-Springer, another former deputy mayor, Melanie Hartzog, will be a co-chair as well as Grace Bonilla of United Way of NYC.

"Today we begin the work of building a new administration - and I'm proud to announce an experienced transition leadership team that will hit the ground running," said Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. "From day one, our campaign was laser-focused on making this city affordable for working people. And on day one of my administration, with this talented transition team in place, we will be ready to make that vision a reality. Our transition leaders will help build a City Hall committed to excellence, integrity and a hunger to solve old problems with new solutions. Together, we will show the nation how government can deliver when we put the people, not billionaires, first."
