On Sunday, March 28, David Yassky proudly marched in the Gay Pride parade and called for equal rights and treatment for all Americans.
David has a plan for using the Comptroller's office to benefit NYC's LGBT community--click here to check it out.
On the steps of City Hall, Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz today endorsed Council Member David Yassky for New York City Comptroller.
Markowitz praised Yassky as a progressive fighter with a plan to root out wasteful spending and help middle class New Yorkers through difficult economic times.
While it's never OK to waste taxpayer dollars, a dollar wasted now is a dollar not being spent on helping middle class families get through the economic crunch.
That's why David's put the entire City budget online at ItsYourMoneyNYC.com--because It's Your Money and you should know where it's going.
Most of us agree that small businesses are the key to reviving New York City's economy.
Because of their importance, David's office put together a new resource guide for small business owners in New York City. It helps New Yorkers navigate the complicated federal stimulus package passed by Congress, and shows what new programs and policies we can all take advantage of.
If Albany gets its way, we might not see Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie filming movies in New York anymore. Why should that matter to anyone who's not a celebrity watcher? Because New Yorkers wouldn't get to work on the movie set either.
Ordinary New Yorkers are hurting. They expect city leaders to find smart and innovative ways to bring money and jobs to New York City, and the Movie & Film industry is one thing that does that.

The fight to turn a shuttered Brooklyn jail into a school isn’t over yet. The Brooklyn House of Detention is one of several projects the city could jettison in favor of increasing its school building budget by nearly half, according to a group of school construction advocates who include Comptroller William Thompson and City Council member David Yassky.

This week's political headlines have been infuriating. But we cannot let sideshows and shenanigans distract us from the important objectives before us.Posted: 06/11/2009 by Sara Haile-Mariam
This past Sunday, I attended Abyssinian Baptist Church with David and our Campaign Manager Cathy Toren. I was originally born in Ethiopia, and so sitting in the pews, I couldn’t help but make note of the Ethiopian Cross positioned behind the pulpit. The cross was more than a decorative piece; it symbolized the great amount of history that the Congregation was built upon.Posted: 05/27/2009 by Sara Haile-Mariam
My name is Sara Haile-Mariam, and I am working for David Yassky’s campaign for New York City Comptroller. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself -- I am a recent NYU graduate who began my political endeavors working for the Obama campaign as a grassroots organizer, surrogate and out-of-state coordinator. I’m excited about continuing the work that I started on the Obama campaign which, for me, includes working to elect David Yassky as the City’s next Comptroller.
