Harry On The Issues

The New York State Comptroller is the State’s chief fiscal officer and sole trustee of the Common Retirement Fund.  In these capacities, the office is responsible for critical functions of the State’s financial management as well as overall responsibility of New York’s multi-billion dollar pension system, which over one million current and former government employees depend upon for their retirement security. 

Harry Wilson is the most qualified candidate for Comptroller and is therefore committed to running his campaign on the issues so that New Yorkers can make an informed decision in the November election about who is more qualified to serve in this critical role. 

Over the course of the campaign, Harry will roll out issue statements and white papers that will clarify in detail his substantive policy ideas to reduce taxes, create jobs, establish comprehensive ethical guidelines for the Comptroller’s office and maintain the sanctity of the pension system from Albany politicians who seek to raid its assets. 

In the meantime, we encourage you to scroll through some of our early thoughts and pronouncements on issues of significant importance to New Yorkers as well as research papers and policy recommendations from others, whose goals are in large part consistent with Harry’s.
