Maya D. Wiley, a former top counsel for Mayor Bill de Blasio, is leaving her role as a contributor on MSNBC and NBC News to explore a run for mayor of New York City, an official at MSNBC confirmed on Tuesday.

Ms. Wiley, a Black former chairwoman of the city’s police oversight agency, could enter a mayor’s race that has been reshaped by recent Black Lives Matter protests and the coronavirus pandemic.

If she were to win, she would be the first woman to become mayor of New York City.

Ms. Wiley resigned in 2017 after serving roughly a year as chairwoman of the agency, the Civilian Complaint Review Board. She has worked as a professor at The New School and regularly appeared on MSNBC, grabbing the attention of its left-leaning viewership, an important demographic in a Democratic primary in New York.
