I'm Raj Goyle. I’m running for New York State Comptroller because power should work for you.

The system is broken, but I’ve been fighting and fixing broken systems my whole life.

If you elect me as Comptroller, I will use every ounce of power to make your life better.

Claudia Tenney being thirsty for famous tennis player Novak Djokovic.

It's hilariously hypocritical for Claudia Tenney to call Zohran a "fake populist" when she is the one courting billionaires and refusing to hold town halls

I spent all weekend meeting voters at protests. Claudia spent all weekend being thirsty for Novak Djokovic. Is that real populism?

Claudia Tenney lies her ass off about Zohran Mamdani on FOX News, while also being a massive hypocrite because she has taken nearly $13 million dollars from out of state donors. Text in image: LIVE FOX NEWS 1:21 MT FILINGS: MAMDANI RAISED $1.2M+ FROM OUTSIDE NYC

A sample of Claudia's out of state donors, including multiple billionaires (like Harlan Crow).

Claudia went on FOX last week to seethe about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, she attacked him for raising a million from non-NYC donors.

Claudia has raised $13 MILLION from donors outside of NY, including from Harlan Crow, BFF of Clarence Thomas.

Claudia is, as always, a massive hypocrite.

Could New York City’s Next Comptroller Be a Punk Rocker? Justin Brannan, a city councilman from Bay Ridge running in the Democratic primary, used to play guitar for the hardcore bands Indecision and Most Precious Blood.

Justin Brannan, the Bernie Sanders-endorsed New York City comptroller contender, is looking to bring some punk edge to the office.

Community Boards, Lawmakers Flex Regained Powers to Stall Outdoor Dining - Streetsblog New York City It's a long and winding road just to set up some tables and chairs.

It’s time for the Council to acknowledge that the outdoor dining program they created is fundamentally flawed. We need a new bill that addresses the critical problems of seasonality, a burdensome application, and hyperlocal veto. They need to fix this. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/03/06/c...

Can i find an audience of Uncut Gems bits appreciators on here?

Guess I have my answer to this question :( bsky.app/profile/samr...

The DNC needs someone who can fundraise, has experience forming a progressive-moderate coalition and doing TV, good behind-the-scenes operating skills, no personal elected office ambitions or chances, and also maybe kinda now lives in a Midwest swing state? I have just the guy.

Do people do bits on here? Or are we all serious, posting links, lamenting Twitter's downfall, etc.?

Housing deal between Mayor Adams, Council places parking mandates on outer-borough development Critics say that means less incentive to build new homes and improve transit in the outer boroughs.

"'While cities across the country are fully lifting parking mandates, the New York City Council chose to be less bold,' said @saraklind.bsky.social with the nonprofit group @openplans.org."
