As Zohran Mamdani mulls staffing up as New York City mayor, the Democratic nominee has an obvious starting point: people from the administration of former Mayor Bill de Blasio, who swept into City Hall a decade ago with a singular focus on economic inequality are interested.

There's a lot of people from my administration who'd be excited to work for him if he was mayor,” de Blasio told POLITICO. “We credentialed a whole generation of progressives to be ready to serve in senior positions in city government. So, I do think he's got a pretty deep bench to draw on.”

Mamdani if succeeds, the assemblymember's challenge of filling top positions will be made even more daunting by the fact that the 33-year-old with no direct city government experience has only managed a staff of five before the campaign and lacks the rolodex — or iPhone contacts — of many of his predecessors.

Will New Yorkers be happy with a repeat De Blasio?  Just a thought.
