Mayor de Blasio created a $150,000-a-year job to boost his national immigration agenda — and then the cushy position was handed to the live-in girlfriend of one of his most trusted aides, The Post has learned.
Stephanie Yazgi, 38, the longtime partner of senior mayoral aide Emma Wolfe, 35, was hired in May for the unadvertised position of “campaign director” in the mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs.
“That’s just a made-up position,” said one Democratic insider. “It makes no sense. They create a position for her for $150,000 that’s a redundancy.”
Yazgi will be responsible for “overseeing the mayor’s national organizing efforts on immigration, specifically the Cities for Action on Immigration coalition,” according to a job description provided by City Hall.
The position was initially to be funded by a private grant but because of “delays,” taxpayers will be footing the bill instead.
Immigration Commissioner Nisha Agarwal said she recruited Yazgi because she headed a list of “about 10 people who were my top job choices.”
But City Hall officials refused to say if anyone else was actually interviewed.
