Maya Wiley, de Blasio's former top counsel, considering 2021 mayoral run

News to me!

Maya Wiley, de Blasio’s former top counsel, considering 2021 mayoral run

Maya Wiley, the former top counsel to Mayor Bill de Blasio and the one-time head of the city’s police oversight panel, is considering a run for mayor in 2021.

“It’s very real, it is serious. She’s received a lot of calls and encouragement” to run, a Democratic source close to Wiley told The Post on Wednesday.

Wiley left the mayor’s office in June 2016 to lead the Civilian Complaint Review Board, which investigates complaints against the NYPD, and to become the senior vice president for social justice at the New School.

She stepped down from the CCRB about a year later, saying she wanted to focus her attention on her job at the New School, where she is also a professor of urban policy and management.

This does surprise me that she would take it on, but she knows what the job entails, so more power to her.
