When I was on the campaign trail, I promised to prioritize climate action, workers' rights, and holding our city government accountable.
On my listening tour I heard from tenants who were being priced out of their homes, people who had been called “essential workers” but weren’t making a living wage, folks who were still waiting on assistance after flooding in their neighborhood, and New Yorkers who were tired of hearing empty promises from their leaders.
We’ve gotten right to work on delivering on promises I made to New Yorkers. I’d like to look back on all that we have accomplished together in our first 100 days, and then hear from you on what you’d like to see in the next 100! [[link removed]]

Government works best when it is informed and guided by the people it serves. Please share your ideas for how we can put the tools of the Comptroller’s office to work to solve problems facing our communities and our city.
With hope,
Brad
