This is not a test. We didn’t hit 40% on September 15th, but that doesn’t mean we can’t win this election. This Tuesday is the Runoff for the NYC Primary for City Comptroller, and this time, there’s no do over.

This election is critical to our City’s future- and at the end of the day, there’s no question that David is the candidate who maintains the most potential to really do extraordinary things for our City. His record on the Council assures us of his potential. So please, this Tuesday, do not stay home or let your friends stay home. Go to the polls, wherever you voted on the 15th. If you didn’t vote on the 15th go back to where you went last January when you cast a ballot during the Super Tuesday Primary. Go back and vote, so that our City can move forward.

In runoff mode- Election day is on September 29th-please come out and cast a ballot for the City’s next Comptroller, David Yassky.

Check out my Global Grind Piece announcing his endorsement and detailing why I’m still solidly in Yassky’s corner. Excerpt below

We have an obligation to continue to remain involved in our communities– and for young people, in particular, that means that we must vote every time.

New Yorkers, there is a Democratic Primary THIS Tuesday, September 15th, and Russell Simmons signaled out David Yassky as the Comptroller who can lead us through this financial crisis. In a press release today he said,

“While I typically don’t endorse in local elections, this race is too important to sit out. We all owe it to the future of New York to ensure that we have progressive individuals in local office, particularly in an office as important as City Comptroller. I found Councilman Yassky to be sincere and I look forward to working with him to advance the causes of our youth and poor New Yorkers in the years ahead.”

Don’t let anyone you know stay home this Tuesday.
