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.
