Eric Adams announces longtime aide Lewis-Martin as chief advisor
She was most recently Brooklyn deputy borough president
Mayor Eric Adams this week appointed Chaplain Ingrid Lewis-Martin — one of his top aides both when he served as Brooklyn borough president and beforehand, when he was a state senator — as chief advisor to the mayor.
In this role, she will be working in partnership with the first deputy mayor, the chief of staff and others to support operations at City Hall and advance the administration’s strategic policies and priorities. Chaplain Lewis-Martin most recently served as deputy Brooklyn borough president.
“We are building a team that knows how to ‘Get Stuff Done,’ and my chief advisor has a proven track record of getting stuff done for New Yorkers left behind by government for far too long,” said Mayor Eric Adams. “This is a 24/7/365 administration, working around the clock to make this city a safer and greater place to raise healthy children and families, and leading a robust and equitable revival that lifts up every one of us.”
