New Yorkers know their elected officials well. So why don't they know their state Comptroller?
The Comptroller is one of the most powerful people in New York – controlling billions and shaping our housing, childcare, and economy. It’s time to reclaim that power.

This is surreal. Brad was our neighbor and city councilman for many years and he continues to lead with integrity and compassion.
Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.
While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.
This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

The Warriors Are Going Deeper Than Any Team in NBA History
