Who's off the New York City Power 100?

Every year, City & State puts together its list of the 100 most powerful people in New York City. It involves some tough decision making, and a lot of people do not make the cut. As positions change and new people are added, some members of a previous list inevitably do not make it the next year. Here are all the people from the 2017 Power 100 you will no longer find on this year’s list.

FIRED

Preet Bharara was fired from his position of U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York by President Donald Trump. Originally, Bharara had been asked by then President-elect Trump to stay on, but was later told to resign in March of 2017. He refused to resign, so the administration fired him.

RESIGNED/RETIRED

Several key players in the de Blasio administration no longer hold their positions, or have announced they are leaving. Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña announced her retirement in December of last year, although her replacement still has not been announced. Additionally, former First Deputy Mayor Anthony Shorris and former Deputy Mayor for Strategic Policy Initiatives Richard Buery both stepped down. In the New York City Council, Julissa Ferreras-Copeland and David Greenfield both decided not to seek re-election.

John Samuelsen (79) – former president of TWU Local 100, current TWU international president

REPLACED

With the election of Corey Johnson as New York City Council speaker, the body saw some leadership shake-ups. Notably, Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer was replaced as majority leader by Councilwoman Laurie Cumbo.

TERM-LIMITED

After serving three terms in the New York City Council, Melissa Mark-Viverito was term-limited out of office and her position as speaker, replaced in her district by Councilwoman Diana Ayala and as speaker by Johnson.

LOST IN THE SHUFFLE

Sometimes, former list members keep their positions, but wind up off the list for other reasons. Sometimes, they get knocked off just because they’re near the bottom and new people get added. Councilman Brad Lander still holds the same positions as last year, but lost his powerful ally in former Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito and the clout that afforded him. Pat Foye and Veronique Hakim were named to leadership posts within the MTA, but were overshadowed by the appointment of Joe Lhota as chairman of the authority.
