John, it's Brad.
As I come to the end of my term as Comptroller, I can't help but reflect on the incredible journey we've shared together over the past four years.
Thanks to your support and the incredible work of the nearly 700 staff of the Comptroller's office, we were able to fulfill many of the promises we made to New Yorkers.
We were able to hold the Adams administration to account, grow the pension funds to nearly $300 billion, and set the standard for responsible investing by divesting from fossil fuels while investing in unprecedented levels of affordable housing.
We also overcame some trying times.
There was the COVID-19 pandemic and inflation that exacerbated an already crushing affordability crisis. Scandals that weakened trust in city government. And now, the ongoing assault on us from a federal government that stole $80 million from our bank account and continues to kidnap neighbors from our streets. But through it all, we stood tall and delivered for New York City.
I'm incredibly proud of the work that we've done — and none of it would've been possible without the help of my staff.
John, it has been a profound honor to serve you as New York City Comptroller. But as my term comes to an end, the fight continues in this new campaign.
December 31st is our End of Year Fundraising Deadline, and it's our first big proof-of-concept moment for this campaign because our fundraising numbers go public shortly after. Can you chip in today to help us get a head start on our goal and support our campaign of fighters, not folders?
