Melinda in Brooklyn with (from left to right) Councilman Mathieu Eugene, Congresswoman Yvette Clarke and former Councilwoman Una Clarke.
Former Mayor Ed Koch:
"Melinda Katz has established herself as a person of integrity, intelligence and courage... she is the best candidate in the field."
EMILY's List:
"We are pleased to support a pro-choice Democratic woman for this seat, especially one as effective as Melinda Katz. Melinda is uniquely qualified for the office by virtue of her education, training, experience and practical knowledge of New York City Government."
Former Congresswoman and Vice-Presidential Candidate Geraldine Ferraro
“Melinda epitomizes the new, invigorated generation of women leaders. She combines passion, confidence, empathy and courage to make a difference in the lives of working New Yorkers and their families.”
Congresswoman Yvette Clarke:
“Melinda understands the needs and concerns of working New Yorkers better than anyone. This understanding of ‘kitchen table economics’—combined with her extensive experience in public service and deep qualifications—will make her a great Comptroller for all New Yorkers.”
Councilmember Helen Diane Foster:
“Simply put, Melinda gets it. There are a lot of politicians out there who claim to know the concerns of their constituents, but Melinda truly knows how to relate. She’ll bring a renewed sense of fighting on their behalf to the Comptroller’s Office at a crucial time for our city.”
Councilmember Julissa Ferreras:
“Melinda is the woman you always want to have on your team. She’s a fighter who never loses sight of her principles, and she knows how to win. New York City will be a better place with her protecting our investments and creating jobs.”
