NEW YORK — FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker tendered his resignation Wednesday, the morning after Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral election victory, and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Kaz Daughtry is expected to follow suit, the Daily News has learned.
In an emailed letter to Mayor Eric Adams sent less than 12 hours after Mamdani’s win over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and GOP candidate Curtis Sliwa, Tucker announced his last day will be Dec. 19.
“Between now and then, I will continue to lead the greatest fire department in the world and will ensure an orderly transition,” Tucker wrote in his letter, which was obtained by The News.
Tucker, who is Jewish and a Zionist, felt he wouldn’t mesh well with the democratic socialist Mamdani and his team, an FDNY source said. Mamdani came under fire during the election for statements and positions that were seen by some as anti-Semitic.
An Adams administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said several other politically-allied top aides to the mayor are expected to submit resignations in coming days, too, including Daughtry.
