Yesterday, I made historic appointments who will lead key agencies and create a city where everyone can thrive. I appointed Stanley Richards as Commissioner of @CorrectionNYC. Decades after he served time in our city’s jails, Commissioner Richards will now be the first formerly incarcerated person to lead them. And I appointed Dr. Alister Martin as Commissioner of @NYCHealthy to help NYers get the affordable, quality health care they need.

I also appointed Yesenia Mata to lead @nycveterans, Sandra Escamilla-Davies to lead @NYCYouth, and Vilda Vera Mayuga to lead OATH.   Whether you’re a veteran looking for housing, a young person seeking a job, or a New Yorker having your case heard, these commissioners will make sure that our city listens, responds, and treats you with dignity.
