| Description | City Councilman Dan Garodnick told supporters Monday he's running for City Comptroller and plans to take on incumbent John Liu if necessary.
In an email to supporters, Garodnick said New Yorkers have to be focused on finding ways to make city government as productive as possible without distractions.
In a video message posted online Garodnick said, "We have some very difficult budgetary challenges coming down the pike. New Yorkers need an independent voice that they can trust in the comptroller's office."
Garodnick has raised more than one million dollars for his campaign.
The Manhattan Democrat is the first candidate to announce a run for City Comptroller in 2013.
Comptroller Liu has been considered a likely candidate for mayor.
However, his political prospects have suffered in the wake of a federal investigation into his campaign fundraising efforts. |
