Dear John:

In this moment of crisis and uncertainty, it’s hard to think even a week ahead, much less plan for what’s beyond. But crises demand that we do everything we possibly can in the moment, and fight like hell for the future.

So with the end-of-the-quarter deadline today, I need to ask for your help.

I know many of you are feeling financial stress. So I deeply appreciate all of you who have given to our campaign over the last few weeks. But the truth is we are behind on our goals, and so I need you to chip in whatever you can -- $10, $25 or $50 -- now → [[link removed]]

CONTRIBUTE (MATCHED 8-TO-1) [[link removed]]

I decided to run for NYC Comptroller because I know that we can use our city’s resources to meet the needs of all New Yorkers. The job of the Comptroller is to take the long term view on our city’s needs. To honestly evaluate the risks we face, and make real plans to address them. To make sure we can meet our commitments both to present and future generations.

In the last few weeks, our campaign has shifted to confronting the COVID-19 crisis, including:

• Organizing early with public health professionals, colleagues, and many of you to demand that the City and State close schools and non-essential businesses.

• Sounding the alarm bell on the public health disaster unfolding in jails and prisons like Rikers Island and Metropolitan Detention Center, and building pressure on the Governor and the Mayor to take action to release vulnerable inmates.

• Expanding NYC’s paid sick days law to include gig employees and misclassified “independent contractors” like Instacart and Amazon Flex workers.

• Demanding a shutdown of non-essential construction, even though that meant standing up to the powerful real estate industry.

• Working with immigrant rights groups like Make the Road New York to start planning to meet the needs of undocumented folks left out of the federal stimulus.

The Comptroller’s job includes accounting, yes. Debits and credits have to match, and that will mean hard choices in the days ahead. But that must include accounting for our values. And accounting for our future.

This moment has shown more clearly than ever that we need city leadership that can rise to a crisis, that invests smartly in public services and infrastructure, and that puts long-term sustainability above short-term gain -- before, during, and after the current crisis.

That is the kind of leadership I want to bring to the NYC Comptroller’s office. If you’re able, please make a donation of $5 or more (matched 8-to-1 by public financing!) before our end-of-quarter deadline so we can a sustainable, more equitable New York City for all of us → [[link removed]]

These times are incredibly difficult for so many people. I know that some of you can’t make the April rent or mortgage payment, so you sure aren’t making political contributions.

But for those of you who can contribute something, it would mean a lot. I’m truly grateful for anything you can give.

Stay safe and support each other,

-- Brad
