This borough and this organization has come a long way in such a
short
time, and none of it would have possible without the steadfast
leadership ofour Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. The leaders of
the Bronx
enthusiastically expressed their support for Ruben, and we are
all looking

individuals
that we know will do an exceptional job for the residents of the
Bronx, and
the City as a whole. They are proven leaders who have already
distinguishedthemselves in the public sphere, said Chairman Carl
Heastie. Bill
Thompson has an exceptional record of service. As a Deputy
BoroughPresident, President of the Board of Education and New York
City
Comptroller, he has led with the skill and vision that befits a
Mayor. The
City will be in very capable hands under his stewardship.
Borough President
Scott Stringer, from the time he was appointed as the youngest
member of acommunity board ever, has exemplified the qualities we
would want to see in
a Comptroller. In the span of his career, he has tackled a
myriad of complex
issues mirroring the diverse responsibilities of the office of
Comptroller. Weare also announcing our support for Letitia James,
who will continue her
passionate service in the role of Public Advocate. We believe
the City willbe in good hands, added Heastie.
