State Comptroller

Wilson has proven he can make a difference

In this year’s race for state comptroller, New Yorkers are fortunate to have one of the strongest candidates for this specific job the state has seen in decades.

Harry Wilson, the Republican candidate,  brings a distinguished career of working for top Wall Street investment firms with a focus on restructuring struggling companies. He took his talents to Washington to work on a bipartisan automotive industry task force, and was the person who successfully guided General Motors through a bankruptcy restructuring.

With Wilson we see a man striking positive qualities. First and foremost, he has the skill and intelligence to oversee the state’s troubled finances, and the experience to run the state’s pension fund.

It’s also worth noting that it’s likely the winner of this race will be working opposite a Democratic governor, which would provide a nice check on that office if a Republican was the comptroller.

Democrat Thomas DiNapoli was given this job four years ago when Alan Hevesi resigned in disgrace. DiNapoli, who had served as an Assemblyman held his own during his tenure, but the truth is he was not the qualified person to take over the job then and he is not today, either.

The Citizen endorses Harry Wilson for state comptroller.
