Dear John,
Brad is going head-to-head with former Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
No, not in the presidential race. But in the City & State’s contest over the week’s biggest winners and losers in New York politics.

Brad earned his nomination by passing two groundbreaking pieces of legislation this week, the Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Law to curb reckless driving and a bill to create a city-wide system for public transparency and accountability over the City’s capital spending. As City & State wrote [[link removed]] : “Lander’s on a watchdog-minded tear.”
Bloomberg, on the other hand, was nominated because his massive ad spending and campaign to get local politicians who he has supported financially in the past to endorse him for president seems to be working. Or at least, his poll numbers are up this week.
Bloomberg is trying to buy the presidency. Brad is relying on small-dollar grassroots donations from people like you. Contribute today [[link removed]] .
This isn’t the first time Brad has gone head to head with Mike Bloomberg. Bloomberg played down appalling audio released this week where he discussed his support for stop-and-frisk in explicitly racial terms, but we remember the long fought campaign to curb racially discriminatory policing. He claimed that he inherited stop-and-frisk and cut it back by 95 percent.
In reality, it took 3 major federal civil rights lawsuits and a grassroots campaign, that Brad led along with Jumaane Williams in the Council alongside a diverse coalition of racial justice advocates, to pass the Community Safety Act before the stop-and-frisk numbers started coming down. We overrode Bloomberg’s veto to pass landmark police accountability legislation. Yet Bloomberg continued to defend stop-and-frisk long after he lost in court.
Brad is relying on grassroots donations to bring his work fighting for justice and accountability to citywide office. Give today to help elect Brad as NYC’s next Comptroller. [[link removed]]
