New York City’s elected officials could be the first beneficiaries of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s affordability agenda.

A City Council member is pushing to introduce legislation in a maneuver to vote on a fat pay raise in early January, The Post has learned.

Councilwoman Nantasha Williams (D-Queens) said the plan is to introduce the bill on Tuesday and hold a hearing on the proposed pay raises by year’s end so the next council can quickly move to bump their pay about 16% – from $148,500 to $172,500.

The proposed pay hike was originally set to go to Mayor Eric Adams’ desk during his final weeks in office but that plan was scrapped early in the week.

The City Charter notes that the legislative body can’t vote on raises between Election Day and the end of the year.

Council members last got a raise in 2016.

The lawmakers wouldn’t be the only ones to benefit from the pay bumps — the potentially new legislation would pad the paychecks of the mayor, public advocate and borough presidents.

Incoming Mayor Mamdani’s salary would get a bump from the current $258,000 to nearly $300,000.

The city comptroller currently makes $210,000, the public advocate is paid $184,000 and borough presidents $180,000 — and each would get 16% bumps in pay under the plan.

“If we have a hearing on the bill this year, we don’t need a hearing on it next year. It’s pre-considered,” Williams told The Post Tuesday.

Asked if the council will pass the pay hike bill in January, Williams said, “That’s the goal.”

A well-placed source said the pay hike legislation puts Mamdani in a bind. He can veto the bill or approve a law “making New York more affordable for the political class.”
