After City Councilman John Liu told reporters he thinks Bill Thompson is a good comptroller and doesn’t want to run against him, I asked Liu if he would run against Betsy Gotbaum (if term limits are extended and she chooses to run for re-election).
“Next year I’m going to put myself before the voters,” Liu said.
Liu had previously indicated he might run for comptroller.
City Councilman Eric Gioia and possibly Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer are also interested in public advocate.
