On Sunday, City and State - "the premier multimedia news organization dedicated to covering New York state and local politics" - published its list of the "5 Best New York City Lawmakers."

I'm humbled and delighted to report that they ranked me #1. You can read their report here. 

Recognition like this happens only with a lot of support from others. As I said to City and State:  "I got a great team. That's all I have to say."

YOU are part of this team. It's you that played such a large role in making this happen. I'm incredibly grateful. 

I'm particularly thankful to those who helped power my campaigns. In the first, I was described as "an unexpected winner;” and in the second, we overcame a primary challenge to win more votes than any candidate running for City Council in NYC. 

It's with your help that I earned a Council Member's platform and the recognition of what WE can do with it.

I'm now seeking the larger platform of New York City Comptroller. It's a job that builds on much of the work I've done in the City Council and is well-suited to my strengths.

The response to my campaign has been very positive, with the momentum increasing. To continue this momentum, we need to scale up, which means raising funds for the campaign.

Can you make a donation to my Comptroller's campaign today? 

Your financial support will help me to focus on voter outreach and advocating on issues that matter to you. Every donation - large or small - has a real impact, putting us one step closer to the Comptroller's office. That's especially true if you're a New York City resident - because these donations are matched 8:1. So, if you contribute $10 - that's $90 to the campaign. And if you contribute $250 - that's $2,250 to the campaign! 

If you are like my neighbor Theresa, who prefers to make her contributions over time, you can become a sustaining supporter by contributing $5/month, through ActBlue.

Thank you again for all your help. As the City and State #1 ranking shows, our team can and does achieve big things. Your contribution today can help us achieve even bigger things in the Comptroller's office.
