Brad has a decades-long track record as a champion for more honest, effective, and responsible government, delivering real results to New Yorkers. As Council Member, he authored the Independent Expenditure Disclosure Act, giving NYC the most aggressive SuperPAC disclosure requirements in the country, and helped reform NYC’s campaign finance system to make it more effective.

As Comptroller, Brad established a new lobbying disclosure dashboard to publicly release meetings that he and his senior staff have with lobbyists. He has run all of his campaigns with public matching funds and added voluntary restrictions–like not taking donations from developers, which he first did in advance of the Gowanus Rezoning–in order to avoid potential conflicts.

Brad has used the tools of the Comptroller’s office to root out corruption and waste in City government, uncovering millions of taxpayer dollars squandered on the City’s DocGo contract and securing its cancellation, identifying a quarter billion dollars missing from the NYC Ferry’s books which drove the City to change its fares, and finding millions more wasted on Adams’ no-bid staffing contracts. He has consistently called for common-sense steps to root out corruption in the City’s procurement.
