Exclusive | Jessica Ramos wants to oversee NYC's $112 billion budget - but defaults on $80K in student loans
Briefly

Mayoral candidate Jessica Ramos is facing scrutiny for her management of personal finances as she aims to oversee New York City's $112 billion budget. Despite her candidacy, she has defaulted on nearly $80,000 in student loans. With backing criticism from some Democrats who believe her financial difficulties undermine her ability to handle city finances, Ramos describes her student debt as a reflection of the challenges faced by many New Yorkers. Although she has raised a significant amount for her campaign, polling shows her support remains low as she strives to make a case for her qualifications.
"No part of said sum has been paid although duly demanded."
"It hurts her candidacy," said Frank Seddio, indicating her financial struggles are a liability in her campaign.
