New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani named educator and YouTube star Ms. Rachel to his inauguration committee on Wednesday, elevating the children’s content creator and frequent lightning rod for conservative backlash into a high-profile role ahead of his Jan. 1, 2026, swearing-in.
Mamdani’s transition team said the committee will help plan and host a free public inauguration block party, billed as a citywide celebration that reflects the coalition behind his election. The group includes artists, labor leaders, organizers, business figures, and several campaign field leads who worked on Mamdani’s run.
