Council Member Julie Menin said Wednesday she has locked down 36 commitments to become the next New York City Council speaker — well above the 26 needed when the Council convenes on Jan. 7.
Menin, a longtime city official and a Jewish resident of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, would be the first Jewish woman to lead the Council.
She represents a faction of Democrats that strongly opposed Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s rise, and pointedly did not endorse him, even after he won the primary.
