As New Yorkers prepare for the June 24 Democratic primary, the race for city comptroller has garnered attention, alongside the mayoral contest. The comptroller, an independent fiscal watchdog, manages a substantial budget and oversees the city’s pension funds. Currently, Justin Brannan and Mark Levine are the frontrunners in the Democratic primary, with both candidates receiving significant endorsements. Despite Levine's lead in polling, about 30% of voters remain undecided, adding tension to the race as New York navigates fiscal challenges and agency audits under outgoing comptroller Brad Lander.
"The comptroller is the city's independent fiscal watchdog, charged with auditing the finances and performance of its agencies, managing its five pension funds, and examining its $115 billion budget."
"Both candidates have attracted their fair share of notable endorsements as they gear up for a competitive primary in the race for city comptroller."
