NYC Mayor and Deputy Mayors

 

Current deputy mayors

• Sheena Wright, First Deputy Mayor

Advises the mayor on citywide administrative, operational and policy matters.

Mayor Adams issued an executive order Thursday 9/26 that allows Sheena Wright, his top deputy, to delegate her duties to another senior administration official with the stroke of a pen — an unusual move that comes amid turmoil at City Hall and speculation over whether Wright could be the next to leave the administration.

In early September 2024, FBI agents raided the homes of two top aides to New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Sheena Wright and Phil Banks, as part of a federal investigation into Adams' 2021 campaign. The raids follow earlier probes into alleged corruption and fundraising efforts tied to Adams' administration. While the mayor denies any wrongdoing, the investigation casts a shadow over his closest advisors and raises concerns about possible foreign influence on his campaign.
