State comptroller’s race: Raj Goyle
We’re continuing to speak with candidates in this year’s competitive race for state comptroller. Raj Goyle is one of three Democrats challenging incumbent state Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli for their party’s nomination in that race. He wants to use the power of the comptroller’s office to fight the federal government’s deportation efforts by changing how the state’s public pension fund is invested. He also wants to leverage the office to address the state’s energy affordability crisis. Goyle spoke with us about that, his background and politics in New York.
