Erik Bottcher possesses a combination of qualities that are all too rare in politics. He is deeply principled, consistently smart and effective, and willing to act boldly to make change. I wish we had more leaders like him in government. I am thrilled he is now seeking to take his talents to Albany, and enthusiastically endorse him for State Senate.
Running for public office has never been about titles for me. It has never been about chasing the position with the most power. It has always been about where I can make the most meaningful difference and help make people’s lives better.
