Justin Brannan, Brooklyn rep and City Council finance chair, is latest to throw hat in ring for NYC comptroller race Democratic primary contest over the past week.
In an interview with amNewYork Metro, Brannan said he is running for comptroller to continue his work as council Finance chair. Part of that work, Brannan explained, is showing that the city has enough resources to pay for critical services such as its public libraries and parks amid back-to-back years of Adams enacting broad cuts to those same services.“The money’s there to fund CUNY. The money is there to get serious about universal childcare,” he said. “The money is there to give EMS workers pay parity, and the money is there to make sure no one goes to bed hungry or gets left behind.
As City Council Finance chair, Brannan has negotiated the city budget with the Adams administration over the past three fiscal years. Throughout those, he often sharply criticized the administration’s management of the city’s finances, while pushing for the council’s fiscal priorities.
