de Blasio picks wife to head The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City
Mayor Bill de Blasio did not need to look far to make his next appointment.
De Blasio named his wife, Chirlane McCray, as chairwoman of The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City Thursday.
“I can’t think of anyone with a better grasp of the core mission of this administration than my wife and partner, Chirlane,” the mayor said. “The Fund is an exciting opportunity to offer vital support to worthy projects and causes across the city, and I know Chirlane will help direct the Fund’s resources to shine a light on communities and families in need.”
