Throughout his legal career, Randy Mastro has taken on and worked for all comers — nonprofits and corporations, elected officials and ordinary citizens,
Democrats and Republicans.
“I have done what lawyers in private practice do: I represent the firm’s clients zealously and ethically and try and get them the best results,” Mastro told us. Mastro’s nomination to the post has generated controversy. The City Council, which has been at odds with the mayor, has advice-and-consent power to review and confirm the nomination. Early on, two progressive caucuses publicly voiced their opposition to Mastro, citing his past work with former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and during the administration of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie amid the Bridgegate scandal.
Mastro, in fact, is anti-Trump; he has successfully sued the former president in court on behalf of racial justice protesters whom the then-president ordered forcefully removed from Washington DC’s Lafayette Square in June 2020. He also celebrated Trump’s conviction in April on 34 felony counts in connection to the hush money scheme involving porn star Stormy Daniels.
