Queens Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar has announced her decision to run for New York City’s public advocate position instead of city comptroller. This shift allows her to address a wide array of pressing issues in addition to fiscal concerns. With strong ties to Mayor Eric Adams, she aims to bring about political change and enhance city oversight. Rajkumar has a campaign fund of $275,000, significantly more than incumbent Jumanee Williams, and has a track record of advocating for worker protections and Asian American representation in her current role.
"I am stepping up to serve on a bigger and broader platform that will allow me to better help a city in crisis. We need to take our City back from the incompetents and the extremists," Rajkumar said.
"The politics of our city must change this 2025. Instead of being confined to just fiscal issues, you have a broader platform to address all pressing issues affecting our city," Rajkumar said.
