Former Indianapolis Mayor Stephen Goldsmith Departs McKenna Long & Aldridge for Bloomberg Administration

WASHINGTON, April 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Stephen Goldsmith, a Senior Strategic Advisor and Independent Consultant in the Global Infrastructure and Public-Private Partnerships practice of McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP (MLA), announced today he has been appointed Deputy Mayor for Operations for the City of New York by Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

"Stephen Goldsmith has been an important member of the MLA team and will be an excellent Deputy Mayor of New York City," said Jeff Haidet, MLA Chairman.  "His deep experience, intellect, creativity and commitment to public service will be an incredible asset to Mayor Bloomberg and all those who live, work and visit New York City.  We wish him all the best and know that our loss is truly New York City's gain."

"I have enjoyed immensely my tenure at MLA and will certainly miss working with an exceptionally skilled, innovative and client-focused group of professionals," said Mr. Goldsmith.  "Mayor Bloomberg made me an offer I could not refuse and I am deeply honored to become part of his administration.  Under his leadership, New York City has burnished its reputation as a great place to live, work and visit and I look forward to working to further his commitment to the people of New York."

As Deputy Mayor of Operations, Goldsmith will be responsible for overseeing the New York Police and Fire Departments and the Departments of Transportation and Sanitation, in addition to other key City agencies.

Prior to joining MLA, Goldsmith served two terms as mayor of Indianapolis, where he earned a reputation as one of the country's leaders in public-private partnerships. As mayor he conducted more than 80 public-private competitions, which resulted in savings of more than $400 million, investment in infrastructure of more than $1 billion, and a transformation of downtown Indianapolis that has been singled out as a national model.
