🎙️ Lorelei Salas joins The Perez Notes for a powerful conversation on why New York City needs an Office of Economic Justice — and how it would function under Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s administration.
Salas breaks down how this office could protect low-income New Yorkers, enforce fair-market practices, and reshape the city’s approach to economic equity. We explore how it would coordinate with existing agencies, fill long-standing gaps in oversight, and become a cornerstone of Mamdani’s progressive agenda.
Lorelei Salas brings unmatched expertise to the discussion:
• Federal Oversight: Former Supervision Director at the CFPB, where she led major examinations of financial institutions.
• Consumer Protection: A career spent fighting predatory financial and consumer practices.
• NYC Leadership: Commissioner of the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (2016–2021).
• Community Advocacy: Senior roles in NY State Government and early legal work with Make the Road NY and Catholic Migration Services.
If you want to understand where economic justice fits in the next chapter of NYC policy — this is the episode.
