Michelle Caruso-Cabrera Kicks Off Comptroller Campaign, Calling Out de Blasio & Political Class
MCC vows to lead a more inclusive recovery
that will reach all New Yorkers as Comptroller


Queens, February 5th – Just one week after launching her Democratic primary campaign for New York City Comptroller, Michelle Caruso-Cabrera has pulled no punches when it comes to calling out the failures of the De Blasio administration and the political powers that be to prepare our city for the challenges at hand.

Speaking to the Five Borough Chamber Alliance Comptroller Candidate Forum on Tuesday evening, Caruso-Cabrera pointed to her unique background and experience in preparing her to wield the power of the audit as NYC’s top financial officer.
 
"I am not a career politician,” Caruso-Cabrera said, drawing stark contrast to four of her opponents. “I spent my career following the money, investigating how it is being spent, and bring to the table a far more objective perspective than those who have been in the political game for far too long, and who have been missing the mark.”
 
On Wednesday, Caruso-Cabrera pointed to inequality and injustice in the city that has only grown more pronounced under the De Blasio administration during a Candidate Forum hosted by the Tioga Carver Democratic Club.
“The budget under Bill De Blasio has grown by nearly $20 billion,” said Caruso-Cabrera. “New Yorkers need to ask themselves the question: 'Does the city feel 20 billion dollars better to you?',” Caruso-Cabrera continued. 

Caruso-Cabrera has been consistent in underscoring her commitment to a recovery that leaves no one behind, vowing: "I will ensure that every dollar is spent on a New York City comeback that is equitable and inclusive!”
