Katia Reguero Lindor, wife of New York Mets’ star shortstop Francisco Lindor, was on the list of inaugural committee members of New York mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.
Reguero Lindor was listed as the host of “The Unaparent Podcast” in Mamdani’s list of members published earlier this week. Reguero Lindor took to social media to support Mamdani during the November election.
Requero Lindor captioned the reshared post: “It is not against my interests to support politicians who fight for immigrants, artists, workers and everyone who deserves a dignified life. Even if I am in a different economic position, my well-being depends on the well-being of others. When humanity thrives, we all do this. Choosing kindness, equality and solidarity is not radical – it is what keeps us human.” Sportskeeda.com.

“Your enemies are not immigrants; they are the one percent who hoard wealth while depriving you of basic needs.”
Mamdani said he couldn’t be more excited to share this moment with committee members.

“Our city’s artists, thinkers, organizers and activists have shaped the look, sound and feel of New York,” Mamdani said. “This is a celebration of the movement that made this victory possible and the beginning of a new dawn for our city. I couldn’t be more excited to share this moment with these committee members and New Yorkers across the five boroughs.”
Other celebrities, including actor and filmmaker John Turturro, actress and activist Cynthia Nixon, and actor and author Kal Penn, are also on the committee.

In her Instagram bio, Requero Lindor lists herself as a “Breastfeeding + homebirth + social justice advocate.” Her husband was traded to the Mets ahead of the 2021 season.
He criticized the Trump administration in March.
“The Trump administration’s effort to get rid of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs and Critical Race Theory (CRT) is a huge mistake that will only make things worse for everyone,” he wrote on Threads. “Ignoring racism in history doesn’t eliminate it; it just keeps people uninformed and prevents us from solving real problems. CRT isn’t about blaming people; it’s about understanding how the past shapes the present so we can build a more just future.
“Getting rid of DEI programs is equally harmful. These programs help ensure that schools, workplaces, and communities are open to everyone, regardless of their background. When you take them away, talented people miss out on opportunities and businesses lose out on new ideas and innovation. A society that values diversity is stronger and more successful. But when we stop these efforts, we create more division, more misunderstanding, and fewer opportunities for people to succeed.”
