NEW YORK (PIX11) -- Following Brad Lander's announcement to run in the 2025 mayoral election, candidates are now lining up to run for the position of New York City comptroller.
One candidate, Assemblymember Jenifer Rajkumar, sat down with PIX on Politics host Dan Mannarino to discuss why she believes she can make a difference.
"Government inefficiency costs lives. I can fix it, that is what I do, I fix things. We have the most expensive health care system and the largest education system, yet people can't get life-saving health care and quality education. When we have NYCHA and people can't get repairs in the public housing, when our pension funds are not achieving maximum returns for retirees, these are all things that hurt the city that I can fix," said Rajkumar.
"I am interested in helping everyday New Yorkers. I will hold the mayor accountable but in a way that is constructive and will actually make government programs work," Rajkumar added.
