Lina Khan's appointment to the transition team of New York's mayor-elect marks a significant shift in the city's governance. Previously, as chair of the Federal Trade Commission, Khan made headlines by lowering the prices of inhalers and blocking a major supermarket merger, actions that resonated with many in the Democratic base. Her inclusion alongside other notable women in the transition team suggests a commitment to progressive policies in New York. This change is particularly relevant as it comes at a time when the city is poised for new leadership, with expectations for a transformative approach to governance that prioritizes consumer protection and corporate accountability.
