Mamdani Plans to Keep Tisch as Police Commissioner if Elected

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic front-runner for mayor of New York City, said on Wednesday that he intends to ask Jessica Tisch to stay on as the police commissioner if he is elected in November.

The decision settles one of the most discussed questions around his potential mayoralty. And it caps months of deliberations and a lobbying campaign by powerful New Yorkers pressing him to keep Ms. Tisch, a widely respected technocrat.
